Chords for Whale of a tale w/ Lyrics

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A]
Got [D] a whale of a tale to [G] tell you lads, a whale of [A] a tale or two
[D] About the flopping fish and [Em] the girls I've loved on nights like this with [A] the moon [D] above
A whale of a tale and it's [G] all true I swear by my tattoo
[D] There [G] was Mermaid Minnie, _ [D] met her down in [G] Madagascar
She would kiss me [D] any time that I would ask [G] her
Then one evening her flame [A] of love blew out
[D] Blow me [G] down and pick me up, she swapped me [D] for a trout
Got a whale of [G] a tale to tell you [D] lads, a whale of [Em] a tale or two
[D] About the flopping [G] fish and the girls I've loved on nights like [D] this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true I swear by my tattoo
_ [G] There was Typhoon Tessie, [D]
met her on the coast of [G] Java
When we kissed I [D]
bubbled up like molten [G] lava
Then she gave me [D] the scare of my [A] young life
[D] Blow me down and pick me up, [G] she was [A] the captain's wife
[D] Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads, a whale of a tale [A] or two
[D] About the flopping fish [G] and the girls I've loved [A] on nights like this with the moon above
[D] A whale of a tale and it's all true I swear by my tattoo
_ Then there [G] was Harpoon Hannah, [D] _ had a look that spelled out danger
[G] _
My heart [D] quivered when she whispered, I'm there stranger
[G] _ Bought her trinkets, [D]
that's sailors can't [A] afford
_ _ [F#] Sailors [E] can't afford
_ [C#] _ [D] And when I spent my last red cent she tossed me overboard
Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads, a whale of a [G] tale or two
[D] About the flopping fish [G] and the girls [D] I've loved on nights [A] like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale [D] and it's all true [Em] I swear [A] by my [D] tattoo _ _
