Jonah went down... to the docks
D MajorD         G+G      E minor 7Em7
 To flee from the wrath of the Lord
    D MajorD      G+G      E minor 7Em7
But the mark on his forehead was visible

 To everybody on board

They threw him down... into the water

  But he did not drown

And Jonah emerged from his darkness like a dancer crashing through the curtain
         G+G C majorC    D MajorD    G+G         C majorC       D MajorD
And the plant grew... but it withered and it shriveled up and turned brown

 Hold back my wrath from this town?”
