Fade out on strumming Amaj7 to Dmaj7 Words ----- Half an hour, change your strings and tune up Sizing the room up, checking the bar Local girls, unspoken conversation Misinformation, plays guitar They say Jonah he was swallowed by a whale, But I say there's no truth to that tale I know Jonah, he was swallowed by a song No one gives their dreams away too lightly They hold them tightly, warm against cold One more year of travelling round the circuit Then you can work it into gold They say Jonah he was swallowed by a whale, But I say there's no truth to that tale I know Jonah, he was swallowed by a song Here's to all the boys who came along Carrying soft guitars and cardboard cases All night long Do you wonder where those boys have gone? Do you wonder where those boys have gone?
