[Intro]
D G Em7 |x4
[Verse 1]
D G Em7
Jonah went down... to the docks
D G Em7
To flee from the wrath of the Lord
D G Em7
But the mark on his forehead was visible
D G Em7
To everybody on board
G C D
They threw him down... into the water
G C D
But he did not drown
[Chorus]
D G Em7 D
I'm on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama,
G Em7
waiting for the wind to throw me down
[Solo]
D G Em7 x2
[Verse 2]
D G Em7
Now the Lord told... the great fish
D G Em7
Be free of your burden
D G Em7
And Jonah emerged from his darkness
D G Em7
ike a dancer crashing through the curtain
G C D G
And the plant grew... but it withered
and it shriveled up and turned brown
[Refrain]
D G Em7 D
I'm on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama,
G Em7
waiting for the wind to throw me down
[Bridge]
Bm G D
Lord, if you won't keep me safe and warm
Bm G D
Then send down the storm
A
Send down the storm
[Solo]
D G Em7 x4
[Verse 3]
D G Em7
Jonah was sure... he heard voices
D G Em7
Maybe just one voice but real clear
D G Em7
And where he went, the voice followed,
D G Em7
sometimes hardly loud enough to hear
G C D
“Shall I not spare the wise with the wicked?
G C D
Hold back my wrath from this town?”
[Chorus]
D G Em7 D
I'm on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama,
G Em7
waiting for the wind to throw me down
[Outro]
Bm G D
May I address... the foreman of the jury?
Bm G D
Why do you hold back your fury?
A
Don’t hold back your fury
D G Em x8
D
