So this is my first tab; I haven't been playing guitar for that long at all. Once I got started here I realized that theres a whole lot of repition in this song as far as the guitar part goes. The same chord progression is played through the intro, choruses, rap section, and ending. Where it does change, I did by very best to be accurate, but remember, this is my first time. This song is good if you just want a fun song to sing along to. You're never too old for Veggie Tales! In the Belly of the Whale be Newsboys Intro: B, A, G, A, B, A, G, A, B, A, G, A, B, A, G

And I've been there man

But I've ^Bbeen expectorated I'm el^Aated

I'm free

Like ^GWillie Happy day Oops t^Ahat's a bit of a cliche

Now the guitar plays this: B, A, G, A, B, A, G, A, B, A, G, A, B, A, G, A, B, A, G While they repeat the same line: "In the belly of the whale"
