[Intro]
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
But the mark on his forehead
    Em7
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
I'm on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama,
D                G                Em7
 waiting for the wind to throw me down

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
And Jonah emerged from his darkness
        D      G
like a dancer crashing
            Em7
through the curtain
                  G C        D       G
And the plant grew... but it withered
                 C             D
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
Lord, if you won't keep me safe
    D
and warm
Bm G                    D
    Then send down the storm
               A
Send down the storm

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
 And where he went, the voice followed,
     D            G              Em7
 sometimes hardly loud enough to hear
                 G C
“Shall I not spare the
          D
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
May I address...
                   D
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)
D
