So this is my first tab; I haven't been playing guitar for that long at all.
Once I got started here I realized that theres a whole lot of repition in this song as
far as the guitar part goes.
The same chord progression is played through the intro, choruses, rap section, and ending.
Where it does change, I did by very best to be accurate, but remember, this is my first time.
This song is good if you just want a fun song to sing along to.
You're never too old for Veggie Tales!
In the Belly of the Whale

Hey, sailor
Got my flow free

Like a salmon to the sea
A
From the L.A. Symphony
B
I'm a paddleboat
Paddlin' in their wake
A
A fake free-styler
G
But my unemployment pays
A
I'm avoiding cliches

Like "whale of a tale" stale
A
Or "you can't keep
G
A good man down,"
A
'Cause you can
And I've been there man
B
But I've been expectorated
A
I'm elated
I'm free

Like Willie
Happy day

Oops that's a bit of a cliche
