Said the Whale is a Canadian band formed in 2007 as a collaboration between songwriters Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft. The pair’s debut EP, Taking Abalonia, featured sunny west coast indie pop, with breezy harmonies, shimmering guitars and lyrical tributes to their home city of Vancouver, “nodding at times to the sea shanties of Neutral Milk Hotel and at others to the boat-shoe-gazing of Vampire Weekend” said The National Post. In 2008, the album was re-released as Howe Sounds/Talking Abalonia
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Ok this is my 2nd tab, I just thought I'd give it a shot because it wasn't up here and a good tune.
It's not 100% correct, but it sounds somewhat like what they play so here ya go. It's a pick-then-strum song so just fiddle around with it and I'm sure you'll work it out.
Oh uh Capo on 3rd, but it sounds fine without one too. ENJOY
[Verse] AmC/BCF Just fifteen miles from shore AmC/BCF I lost the love that I had AmC/BCF Slipped and fell into the cold AmC/BCF Of the deep and the dark below
AmC/BCF Big wave, small boat AmC/BCF We tipped, I froze AmC/BCF My hands were ice, my feet were stone AmC/BCF I could not throw the rope
[Verse] EAm I caught her eye as she dipped down with a wave AmC/BCF I jumped in but I was too late AmC/BCF Fighting with the currents of the Georgia Strait AmC/BCF Fighting with the wind and the tide and the waves AmC/BCF I lost my love that day
[Verse] EAm I touched her fingers as she breathed out my name AmC/BCF She smiled at me, I watched her fade away AmC/BCF To the deep and the dark of the under wave AmC/BCF To the Currents of the Georgia Strait
[Verse] AmC/BCF And here it's been ten years to the day AmC/BCF And here I'll sit for a hundred years and I'll wait AmC/BCF Till I see her smiling face AmC/BCF Come shining up through the waves AmC/BCF On the shore, in the rain I'll wait AmC/BCF Till I see my love again
[Verse] EAm I pray to God, I curse my luck, I question my faith AmC/BCF I curse my empty-hearted fate AmC/BCF And I curse the wind and the tide and the waves AmC/BCF And I curse the currents of the Georgia Strait AmC/BCF Where I lost my love that day AmC/BCF Where I lost my heart AmC/BCF To the curse of the currents of the Georgia Strait AmC/BCF It's the curse of the currents of the Georgia Strait
