      They say      Jonah he was swallowed by a whale

      But I say there's no truth to that tale

      Warm against cold 

Ebm                 Bb7/D                Dbmaj7  
    One more year of traveling 'round this circuit 

G7-9 F#7-9       Bm7    E7  Amaj7  
     Then you can work it into gold 


C#7+5         F#m7             Dmaj7         G#m7-5

       Here's to all the boys who came a-along 

Dm7-5    Dbmaj7         C7              
 Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases 

Fm7    Bb7  Am7-5 Abmaj7  
    All night long 

Fm7              Bb7                  Am7-5 Abmaj7  
    Do you wonder where those boys have gone? 

Fm7              Bb7                  Ebmaj7   Abmaj7  
    Do you wonder where those boys have gone?
