[Verse 1]
C
Well Jonah bore the mark of Cain
Am D
His wife had thrown him out again
G C
They’d moved the country all around
Am D
Hit the wall in Fort Mac town
G C
When his wife said she couldn’t bear
Am D
She said “you’re moving on, I’m staying here”
Em C D
She said “oh my hands are tied”
Em C D
She said “oh my hands are tied”
[Chorus]
G C G
Jonah Cried: “Oh Lord, I’m in the belly of the whale
Am D
when I try I still fail
G C G
It’s been a long time of nothing, this old crime of nothing
Am D G
Thin dime of nothing is killing me,
G C G
You’re not the one whose hands are tied
[Verse 2]
G C
No one sees the mark of Cain
Am D
It’s a funny feeling you can’t explain
G C
the boys gave Jonah wider berth
Am D
He seemed lower down than the earth
G C
When he begged and pleaded for another chance
Am D
the foreman took a harder stance
Em C D
he said “oh my hands are tied”
Em C D
he said “oh my hands are tied”
[Chorus]
G C G
Jonah Cried: “Oh Lord, I’m in the belly of the whale

Thin dime of nothing is killing me,
G C G
You’re not the one whose hands are tied
[Verse 3]
G C
Jonah tossed out on the sea
Am D
On suicide 63
G C
Suddenly a blinding light
Am D
shook the car with all its’ might
G C
Deep inside he heard a voice
Am D
Offering him a final choice
Em C D
It said “let your hands be untied”
Em C D
It said "let your hands be untied"
[Chorus]
G C G
Jonah Cried: “Oh Lord, I’m in the belly of the whale
Am D
when I try I still fail
G C G
It’s been a long time of nothing, this old crime of nothing
Am D G
Thin dime of nothing is killing me,
G C G
Well I can see my hands are tied
