(ver. 1)
Yes

                Don't Kill the Whale – Yes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard

Hello ukulele players! I originally submitted this as a guitar tab 
I now edited it a little and hope it works for ukulele, too. 
But I'm not sure whether the chords I suggest make sense for the ukulele. 
If you have any suggestions to make as to how to improve this tab, 
don't hesitate to send a message. Enjoy!

There is one thing I'm not quite sure of: The F# in the verses seems to 
be a major chord - Anderson, at least, sings a major third. Something 
in the instrumental track, on the other hand, somehow suggests a 
minor third without really coming forward with it. With the absence 
of the lead vocals in both instrumental verses the F# seems to be 
more minor than major. Any ideas? Comments highly welcome!
