Fade out on strumming Amaj7 to Dmaj7
Half an hour, change your strings and tune up
Sizing the room up, checking the bar
Local girls, unspoken conversation
Misinformation, plays guitar
They say Jonah he was swallowed by a whale,
But I say there's no truth to that tale
I know Jonah, he was swallowed by a song
No one gives their dreams away too lightly
They hold them tightly, warm against cold
One more year of travelling round the circuit
Then you can work it into gold
They say Jonah he was swallowed by a whale,
But I say there's no truth to that tale
I know Jonah, he was swallowed by a song
Here's to all the boys who came along
Carrying soft guitars and cardboard cases
All night long
Do you wonder where those boys have gone?
Do you wonder where those boys have gone?
