Said the Whale B.C. Orienteering Lyrics

This is my first tab so there may be a few mistakes around the end.
You're taken by the woods even though you're aware of the
Slippery cliffs and the big black bears and the
Salal snares taller than yourself
Ferns growing as thick as the trees
You're looking for a flag at the top of the hill
It's a race against the light
And one false step could mean staying the night
That's why you should never travel alone
You should never you should never travel alone
And you know that one false step and you might not make it home.
And so you watch for the loose rocks under your feet
Stepping over loose stones crossing over creeks
Climbing up cliffs, over dead tress
You watch your step you get your footing riiiiggghhhttt yeah
And a broken compass could mean staying the night yeah
And that's why you should always know where you're going
And even if you've got a map you should always know where you're going
And you know that because even if you've got a map you might not make it home
(guitar riff)
And you take your time just to breathe the air
And appreciate having never met a bear
And you capture the flag at the top of the hill
with daylight to spare
Orienteering comes naturally
You read the map right
One wrong turn could mean staying the night yeah
and though you carry your fall
You should never, You should never travel alone
And you know that
Because one false step and you might not make it home
And you know that
'cause even if you got a map
you know where you're going
You're still a long way from your home
And Even if you've got a map you should never travel alone
And you know that but you're not dead yet and
you might just make it home
And you know that but you're not dead yet
and you might just make it home
guitar riff till the end
