                Don't Kill the Whale - Yes
E|E|E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------||||

Written by: Jon Anderson/Chris Squire
From: "Tormato" (1978)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

There is one thing I'm not quite sure of: The F#m in the verses might as 
well be a major chord - Anderson, at least, sometimes sings something 
sounding like the major third. Something in the instrumental track, on 
the other hand, 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.
