now Jonah was a prophet, but that's not why he's remembered

Verse
  F minorFm    BbmBbm   F minorFm        BbmBbm
Now Jonah set sail on a pirate ship in a dreadful gale
   F minorFm      BbmBbm       F minorFm    BbmBbm    C majorC
(Got eaten up by a giant whale but then it?s not to be dead)
  F minorFm       BbmBbm       F minorFm         BbmBbm
You think he would learn a lot from being saved from an awful spot
    F minorFm         BbmBbm       F minorFm  BbmBbm    C majorC
But the second chance that he had got, he didn't want to be spread

So poor old Jonah and now he's all alone-ah
   F minorFm    BbmBbm        F minorFm   BbmBbm  C majorC
Gotta use a megaphone-ah to get it through to his head, hey!

CHORUSx2

Verse(spoken)
now during your life you probably don't ride on a camel
and you probably won't wake up inside a large aquatic mammal
but now in your life there is something you can do
everyone deserves a second chance to come from you!
