Jonah ??" Graham Stookey
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Noah Opolsky
Tuning: DGDGAD
Capo on 3 ??" all notes relative to capo
Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVQVoQwYrtw
So this song is pretty complex, so I’m going to write the song in as comprehensive a way
as I can. I recommend becoming familiar with the chords before playing along, as there
are a lot of them and a lot of small embellishments and changes.
He plays with an interesting slap/strum technique, and it’s quite challenging. I highly
recommend playing along to the video the first few times.
Chord Legend (if you’re actually curious):
1 = Dsus4 (xx0233@1) 2 = Gsus2sus4 3 = Gsus2/A 4 = G69/B 5 = Em11
6 = Dsus2sus4 7 = Dadd4 8 = A11/D (x02220@1) 9 = Dadd4 10= Dsus2/E
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

THE SONG
Intro
1, 2, 6 slide 7, 2
Quick change to 3 as a pick up note, 4, 3, 2 (for 2 beats)
1 2
Where ya goin' and why so fast?
1 2
You don't want your problems you don't want your past
1 2
And you're so worried about the rain
1 2
You think by leaving that you can dodge the pain,
Jonah - 6 slide 7, 2 (x2)
1 2
And where on earth do you expect to go
1 2
Where you won't find a single foe?
1 2
You're flat out choosing to ignore what's good
1 2 3 [be careful it changes here]
Focused solely on how it could be
4 3
But what could be is not what should be
2 5 (Riff 1)
And what should be is hard to see when you're on the run
Chorus
You can run but you can’t hide You can try to evade the tide

Jonah 1 (4 beats), 2 (4 beats), 8 (2 beats) slide 9 (2 beats) 2 (4 beats)
6 7 2
If you leave now what do you hope to find?
8 9 2
Don't you know that all your problems won't be far behind?
8 9 (fast strums) 2
And whether here or out there we're all bound to fail
Riff 2
But better here than in the belly of a whale
4 3
And you cry and downcast your eyes and
2
You refuse to see that right here with me
Riff 1
Is right where you should be
Chorus
You can run but you can’t hide You can try to evade the tide

And it's OK,
4 3 2
Jonah ??" ahhh - ahhh
4 3 2
Jonah ??"ah oh ??" oh ooh oh
4 3
Don't you know that everywhere you go
2
Your shadow will follow
4 3
And every step you take you know your heart could break
2
But life's a risk a risk you should be willing to take
4, 3, 2, Riff 1 (all 4 beats each)
You should be willing to take
4, 3, 2, Riff 1 (all 4 beats each)
2
If you take the time to zoom out
5
Beyond your shadow of a doubt
2 Riff 3
You'll see that there's nowhere to run
2
And it's a shame to think that you won't be here
5
When the storm is over and the skies are clear
2 3 4 3 2
So please just stay right here with me
Chorus
You can run but you can’t hide You can try to evade the tide
