[Intro]
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
