Said now
[E] Jonah, I [B] want
you to go down in a
place [E] called Nineveh
_ and tell my [B] people
if they [E] don't repent
I'll [B] destroy that
city.
But you know that
[E] story.
Jonah [B] didn't
want to go.
So Jonah
[E] decided that he
was going [B] down to
a place called Joppa.
Then he went on down
to the [E] Shibbiot.
He [B] went on down
to the ticket
[E] office and [B] got
him a ticket.
And he
was on [E] his way to
a place called [B] Tosh.
Then he went on [E] down
on the bottom [B] deck.
Got a hole in the [E] corner
and went fast
[B] to sleep.
But what he
[E] didn't know when he
[B] laid down.
God
was looking [E] right at him.
God was looking [B] at him.
But God [E] didn't bother [C#m] him.
All God [B] did was
He called a [E] wind
and He told a
[B] wind, [F#m] I want
[B] you to blow.
[E] And He
told a [B] thunder, I
want you to [E] roar.
And He told [B] a lightning,
I want you [E] to flash.
And He told [B] a
tide, stand up real
[E] high.
For I've
[B] got a child that's
[E] trying to run.
And

And about [E] that time
the captain came [B] around
and told the [E] crew
[C#m] member, pull [B] all
the anchor.
_ We've got
to [E] get ready.
[C#m] And he said
for [B] say, honey.
And
then he [E] tell me,
thunder [B] started to roar.
Lightning started [E] to
flash.
Tide stood
up [B] high.
And the wind
began [E] to blow.
Captain
got [B] confused.
Told
[E] all his crew member,
out of all the [B] time
we've made this [E] journey
we [B] ain't never
ain't never had trouble
[C#m] before.
And then he [B] told
all the crew member, come on
the [E] top deck.
[C#m] And then
he asked [B] them, tell me,
tell me who [C#m] is your guardian?
Who is your [B] guardian?
_ Whoever your [E] guardian
is, [G#] I want you [B] to call
him.
And about that
[E] time, another man
[B] came.
He said, wait
a minute, [E] captain.

There's
one more man.
And he's [E] _ [C#m] downstairs.
