E....
[E]Deep in the belly of a whale I found her
[Abm]Down with the deep blue jail around her
[C#m]Running her hands through the ribs of the dark
[A]Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc
[E]I love the way she looks in her underwear
[Abm]I lose my page in the book then the plot then I swear
[C#m]She makes the most of her time loving me plenty
[A]She knows there'll come a day when I [B]won't be gettin' any
[E]The stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea
Through the [Abm]wreck of a brass band I thought I could see her
In a [C#m]cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame
[A]Just a little bird floatin' on a [B]hurricane
[E]I was flat on my back, my feet in the thorns
[Abm]I was in between the apples and the chloroform
[C#m]She came to me often, I was sure I was dying,
[A]It was always hard to tell if she was l[B]aughing or crying
[E]I thought I heard somebody ca[Abm]llin'
In the d[A]ark, I thought I he[B]ard somebody ca[E]ll.
[E]Joan never cared about the in-betweens
[Abm]Combed her hair with a blade did the Maid of Orleans
[C#m]Said Christ walked on water, we can wade through the war
[A]You don't need to tell me who the f[B]ire is for
[E]O bring me the love that can sweeten a sword
[Abm]A boat that can love the rocks or the shore
[C#m]The love of an iceberg reachin' out for the wreck
[A]Can you love me like the crosses love the n[B]ape of the neck?
(keyboard interlude)
[E]Was it Casey Jones, or the Casey at the bat
[Abm]Who died outta pride and got famous for that
[C#m]Killed by a swerve laid low by the curve
[A]Do you ever think they ever thought they [B]got what they deserved?
[E]Don't pity the bully, pity the man
[Abm]Who both found their place in the same sad plan
[C#m]It wasn't like the barrell goin' over the falls
[A]Crying all the way down I never as[B]ked to be involved
[E]I though I heard somebody c[Abm]allin'
In the d[A]ark, I thought I h[B]eard somebody ca[E]ll.
(keyboard interlude)
[E]General George began the day by drinking pink little pills
[Abm]Sent his men to the top of some helluva hill
[C#m]Through the whisper of trees came artillery breeze
[A]He said I love they way the wind comes a[B]-ticklin' my knees
[E]Jane shot the apple right between the eyes
[Abm]I was thinking of her when you came outside
[C#m]Lemonade on your breath, sun in your hair
[A]Did I mention how I love you in your u[B]nderwear?
[E]Deep in the belly of a whale I found her
[Abm]Down with the deep blue jail around her
[C#m]Runnin her hands throuhg the ribs in the dark
[A]Florence and Calamity and Joan[B] of Arc
[E]I though I heard somebody c[Abm]allin'
In the d[A]ark, I thought I h[B]eard somebody c[E]all.
[E]I though I heard somebody c[Abm]allin'
In the d[A]ark, I thought I h[B]eard somebody c[E]all.
