Elton John - Hey Ahab Ukulele

Hey Ahab

Intro: C7(no3rd) F/C

         C7(no3rd)
It's a constant struggle getting up that hill
                F/C     
There's a change of guard every day
                  C7(no3rd)
When you're clinging onto a driftwood boat
               F/C
You pray a great white whale might come your way

      Ab
No freeway traffic in the frozen North
          F7
Just a chain link fence full of birds
                Ab
And when the harpoon's loaded in the cannon bay
                G7
You'll be rolling through the pages lost for words

       Cm7               Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab can you tell me where
              F7               Ab
I can catch a ride out of here
       Cm7       Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
              F7
You gotta stand up straight
               Ab               C7(no3rd)
When you ride that whale

         C7(no3rd)
In a crumbling city we were trapped for days
                F/C
With a broken sun above the clouds
                  C7(no3rd)
Caught like Jonah forty fathoms down
               F/C
And a sign on the wall saying, "Hope Allowed"

      Ab
All the cryptic symbols carved on bone
          F7
A far cry from a tattooed rose
                Ab
And when the boys in the rigging catch the wind

                G7
We'll all weigh anchor and it's westward ho

Hey Ahab can you tell me where
              F7               Ab
I can catch a ride out of here
       Cm7       Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
              F7
You gotta stand up straight
               Ab
When you ride that whale


       Cm7               Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab can you tell me where
              F7               Ab
I can catch a ride out of here
       Cm7       Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
              F7
You gotta stand up straight
               Ab               C7(no3rd)
When you ride that whale
