	  		Jonah was a Prophet 
Veggie Tales 

Intro: (Slowly) 
     F       Bb   Gm       C          Dm          F C 
When I was a boy I went to church back home in Arizona 
    F       Bb      Gm        C                 Dm          F  C 
And that is where I heard the tale of a man whose name was Jonah 
    Bb         F                    Gm             F 
now Jonah was a prophet, but that's not why he's remembered 
   Bb                   F             G7            C 
We tell the tale, Cause in a whale he nearly was dismembered! 

Interlude: Fm Cm Bbm Cm x4 (riff F E D C E F F E E D D C x4) 

(more quickly) 
Chorus 
Fm                  Bbm Fm 
Jonah was a prophet (oo-ooh!) 
Fm                          Bbm     Fm 
but he really never got it (sad but true!) 
Fm                                     Bbm      Fm 
and if you watch him you can spot it (a-doodley-doo!) 
Bb            (B)  C 
he did not get the point! 

Bridge 
Fm             Bbm Fm                     Bbm  Fm 
Compassion and mercy from me to you and you to me 
Fm                Bbm       Fm          Bb   (B)  C 
exactly what god wants to see and yes that is the point! 

Chorus 

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

   Fm       Bbm      Fm            Bbm 
So poor old Jonah and now he's all alone-ah 
      Fm        Bbm                Fm      Bbm    C 
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! 

(Key Change)
