Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
The oceans of the world were the home of big blue
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em7/A[/ch
He was the greatest monster that the world ever knew
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And the place that he loved best was the waters to the west
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Around the blue Pacific he did roam
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Big Blue moved alone for a mighty blue was he
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em7/A[/ch
And the battles of the whales was an awesome sight to see
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And he took them one by one and he drove them all away
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
In the mating of the day he was the king
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Big blue had fifty wives and he sired forty sons
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em7/A[/ch
Though most of them fell victim to the cruel harpoon guns
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Ah but he was too much wise to get caught by the gunners' eyes
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And so he lived at sea a hundred years
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
His mouth was as large as a tunnel so they say
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em7/A[/ch
His hide was thick as leather and his eyes quick and small
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And his back was all scarred by the times he got away
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And he knew the smell of whalers did Big Blue
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Big Blue passed away to his natural decay
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em7/A[/ch
Beside the Arctic Circle as he travelled up that way
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And there never was a man who was born with a gunner's hand
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Who ever took a pan to Big Blue
Verse 6→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Now the gray whale has run and the sperm is almost done
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em7/A[/ch
The finbacks and the Greenland rights have all passed and gone
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
They've been taken by the men for the money they could spend
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And the killing never ends, it just goes on
Verse 7→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
The oceans of the earth were the home of big blue
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em7/A[/ch
He was the greatest monster that the world ever knew
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And the place that he loved best was the waters to the west
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Around the blue Pacific he did roam
