We Are Jonah

G

[Verse]

                  Em                          D
And the round old fox, stepped up to make his speech
                    Bm                       Em
His ship was on the rocks, and rescue out of reach
           Am                             D
Spotlit he stood, said what he thought he should
                   Em                         D
Half the crowd did laugh, though there was no joke
                   Bm                        Em
And soon the other half were swallowed up in smoke
               Am                      D
A robin on the wing, could be heard to sing, the strangest thing

[Chorus]

G               D
Grandma, we are Jonah
         C                      D
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

[Verse]

                   Em                        D
Then the plane did land, for some it did not crash
                  Bm                       Em
From it emerged a man, in trainers and moustache
                 Am                    D
Down he laid his load, upon the heated road
                  Em                    D
Then the road did part, and the tar did melt
                   Bm                         Em
He loosened up his heart, he tightened up his belt
                Am                       D
Like a piece of string, then he began to sing, like a pearly king

[Chorus]

     G               D
Ahh, Grandma, we are Jonah
         C                      Em      D
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

[Instrumental]

D    C  A  Dm  G  Cm  D

[Verse]

                   Em                     D
Then the scene did shift, to a sun kissed sea
                     Bm                          Em
There was Montgomery Clift, Jonah, the Whale and me
              Am                         D
As the sun it set, Montgomery placed his bet
                   Em                       D
Then the whale did yawn, and fell asleep in four
               Bm                              Em
From dusk till dawn, you should have heard him snore
                   Am                 D
From Tierra-Del-Fuego, to the Alaskan snows, there she blows

[Chorus]

G               D
Grandma, we are Jonah
         C                      D
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

[Chorus]

            G               D
My dear old Grandma, we are Jonah
         C                      D
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
