We Are Jonah

G

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

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

[Verse]
                   Em              
Then the plane did land, for some 
          D
it did not crash
                  Bm               
From it emerged a man, in trainers 
        Em
and moustache

                 Am            
Down he laid his load, upon the 
        D
heated road
                  Em               
Then the road did part, and the tar
     D
 did melt
                   Bm       
He loosened up his heart, he 
                  Em
tightened up his belt
                Am             
Like a piece of string, then he 
          D
began to sing, like a pearly king

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

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

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

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