Don't Kill the Whale Lyrics

Don't Kill the Whale ? Yes
A strange and beautiful recording.
There is one thing I'm not quite sure of: The F# in the verses seems to be a major chord -
Anderson, at least, sings a major third. Something in the instrumental track,
on the other hand, somehow 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. Any ideas? Comments highly welcome!

Don't Kill the Whale (1978)
(Jon Anderson/Chris Squire)
From: "Tormato"
Intro | Bm | A | Em | G | C | F#m | F# |
You're first I'm last
You're thirst I'm asked to justify
Killing our last heaven beast
Don't hunt the whale
In beauty vision
Do we offer much
If we reason with destiny, gonna lose our touch
Don't kill the whale, dig it!

(Solo git)
Rejoice they sing
They worship their own space
In a moment of love, they will die for their grace
Don't kill the whale
If time will allow
We will judge all who came
In the wake of our new age to stand for the frail
Don't kill the whale, dig it, dig it!
