[Verse]
EmD
And the round old fox, stepped up to make his speech
BmEm
His ship was on the rocks, and rescue out of reach
AmD
Spotlit he stood, said what he thought he should
EmD
Half the crowd did laugh, though there was no joke
BmEm
And soon the other half were swallowed up in smoke
AmD
A robin on the wing, could be heard to sing, the strangest thing
[Chorus]
GD
Grandma, we are Jonah
CD
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
[Verse]
EmD
Then the plane did land, for some it did not crash
BmEm
From it emerged a man, in trainers and moustache
AmD
Down he laid his load, upon the heated road
EmD
Then the road did part, and the tar did melt
BmEm
He loosened up his heart, he tightened up his belt
AmD
Like a piece of string, then he began to sing, like a pearly king
[Chorus]
GD
Ahh, Grandma, we are Jonah
CEmD
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
EmD
Then the scene did shift, to a sun kissed sea
BmEm
There was Montgomery Clift, Jonah, the Whale and me
AmD
As the sun it set, Montgomery placed his bet
EmD
Then the whale did yawn, and fell asleep in four
BmEm
From dusk till dawn, you should have heard him snore
AmD
From Tierra-Del-Fuego, to the Alaskan snows, there she blows
[Chorus]
GD
Grandma, we are Jonah
CD
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
[Chorus]
GD
My dear old Grandma, we are Jonah
CD
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
[Outro]

We are Jonah

Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
