To the Dogs or Whoever Josh Ritter
Capo: 4
D[C]eep in the belly of a whale I found her
D[Em]own with the deep blue jail around her
R[Am]unning her hands through the ribs of the dark
F[F]lorence and Calamity and J[G]oan of Arc
I[C] love the way she looks in her underwear
I[Em] lose my page then the plot then the book then I swear
S[Am]he makes the most of her time by loving me plenty
S[F]he knows there?ll come a day when we won?t be ge[G]tting any
[C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G]
T[C]he stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea
T[Em]hrough the wreck of a brass band I though I could see her
I[Am]n a cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame
J[F]ust a little bird floating on a hur[G]ricane
I[C] was flat on my back with my feet in the thorns
I[Em] was in between the apples and the chloroform
S[Am]he came to me often I was sure I was dying
I[F]t was always hard to tell if she was la[G]ughing or crying
I tho[C]ught I heard somebody ca[Am]lling
In the d[F]ark I thought I he[G]ard somebody c[C]all
J[C]oan never cared about the in-betweens
C[Em]ombed her hair with a blade did the Maid of Orleans
S[Am]aid Christ walked on water we can wade through the war
Y[F]ou don?t need to tell me who the f[G]ire is for
O[C]h bring me the love that can sweeten a sword
A[Em] boat that can love the rocks or the shore
T[Am]he love of the iceberg reaching out for a wreck
C[F]an you love me like the crosses love the n[G]ape of the neck?
[C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G]
W[C]as it Casey Jones or Casey at the Bat
W[Em]ho died out of pride and got famous for that
K[Am]illed by a swerve laid low by the curve
D[F]o you ever think they ever thought they g[G]ot what they deserved
P[C]ity the bullet and pity the man
W[Em]ho both find their place in the same sad plan
W[Am]ho both are like the barrel going over the falls
C[F]rying all the way down I never as[G]ked to be involved
I tho[C]ught I heard somebody ca[Am]lling
In the d[F]ark I thought I he[G]ard somebody c[C]all
[C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G]
G[C]eneral George began the day by taking pink little pills
S[Em]ent his men to the top of some hell of a hill
T[Am]hrough the whisper of trees came artillery breeze
H[F]e said I love the way the wind comes a-ti[G]ckling my knees
J[C]ane shot the apple right between the eyes
I[Em] was thinking of her when you came outside
L[Am]emonade on your breath sun in your hair
D[F]id I mention how I love you i[G]n your underwear?
D[C]eep in the belly of a whale I found her
D[Em]own with the deep blue jail around her
R[Am]unning her hands through the ribs of the dark
F[F]lorence and Calamity and J[G]oan of Arc
I tho[C]ught I heard somebody ca[Am]lling
In the d[F]ark I thought I he[G]ard somebody c[C]all
I tho[C]ught I heard somebody ca[Am]lling
In the d[F]ark I thought I he[G]ard somebody c[C]all
