JONAH Words & music by Paul Simon 1978


Ebm             |Bb7/D                  |Dbmaj7 |
    Half an hour change your strings and tune up

G7-9 F#7-9     |Bmaj7  |
     Sizing the room up

Emaj9 Bb7         |Ebm |Abm Bbm|
      Checking the bar

Local girls unspoken conversation

G7-9 F#7-9  |Bm7   |
     Misinformation

Plays guitar


C#7+5         |F#m7             |Dmaj7         |G#m7-5 |     
      They say      Jonah he was swallowed by a whale

C#7-9      |Fmaj7         |Fm7-5 Bb7    |Ebmaj7 |
      But I say there's no truth to that tale

I   know Jonah

      |Db7           |Gbmaj7 |
He was swallowed by a song


Cbmaj7/Bb |  |Ebm |Fm/Eb |Ebm |Fm/Eb |


Ebm                   |Bb7/D          |Dbmaj7 |
    No one gives their dreams away too lightly

G7-9 F#7-9         |Bmaj7  |
     They hold them tightly

Emaj9 Bb7         |Ebm |Abm Bbm|
      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 |     
      They say      Jonah he was swallowed by a whale

C#7-9      |Fmaj7         |Fm7-5 Bb7    |Ebmaj7 |
      But I say there's no truth to that tale
  
Eb7|Abm7 
I   know Jonah

      |Db7           |Gbmaj7 |Cbmaj7/Bb |
He was swallowed by a song



Ebmaj7                  |               |Abmaj7 |
       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?


Repeat and fade:
