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