D G Em7 (4x)
 
[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                G                Em7
I'm on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama, waiting for the wind to throw me down
 
[Solo]
 
D G Em7 (2x)
 
[Verse 2]
                 D G           Em7
Now the Lord told... the great fish
D     G          Em7
 Be free of your burden
    D        G             Em7              D      G                   Em7
And Jonah emerged from his darkness like a dancer crashing through the curtain
                  G C        D       G                 C             D
And the plant grew... but it withered and it shriveled up and turned brown
 
[Refrain]
          D         G          Em7  D                G                Em7
I'm on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama, 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 (4x)
 
[Verse 3]
              D G          Em7
Jonah was sure... he heard voices
      D        G              Em7
Maybe just one voice but real clear
D            G               Em7            D            G              Em7
 And where he went, the voice followed, 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                G                Em7
I'm on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama, 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 (8x)
