I've checked the songbook, and this is right. The chorus looks hard, but it's actually
really simple. The two guitars have to be playing together or it will sound crappy.
I did my best to make that part easy to read, and I'm positive it's right. hope you
enjoy this... i took me a hell of a long time

Lyrics:
"My Name is Jonas"
My name is Jonas
I'm carrying the wheel
thanks for all you've shown us
this is how we feel
come sit next to me
pour yourself some tea
just like grandma made
when we couldn't find sleep
things were better then
once but never again
we've all left the den
let me tell you about it
Choo-choo train's left right on time
A ticket costs only your mind
the driver said "hey man we go all the way"
of course we were willing to pay
My name is Wepeel
Got a box full of your toys
Fresh out of batteries
but they're still making noise, making noise
Tell me what to do
now the tank is dry
now this wheel its flat
and you know what else
guess what i recieved
in the mail today
words of deep concern
from my little brother
building's not goin as he planned
the foreman has injured his hand
the dozer will not clear a path
the driver swears he learned his math
the workers are goin home
the workers are goin home
the workers are goin home
the workers are goin home
YEAH!!
the workers are goin home
the workers are goin home
the workers are goin home
Yeah Yeah Yeah
My name is Jonas
