_ _ _ _ Deep in the belly of a whale [G#m] I found her Down with the deep blue jail [C#m] around her
Running her hands through the ribs of [A] the dark Florence and Calamity and Johanna LaVarca
[E] The way she looks in her [G#m] underwear Those were paid in the books and the plots
And [C#] I swear she makes the most of her time The love of me [A] plenty
She knows the coming [B] day only won't be [E] getting any _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [E] Stain of a seabird, the butcher [D#] crime man Through the wreck of a brass bell I thought I could [C#m] see her
In a cake while she came through the dead in the [A] lane Just a little bird [B] floating on a hurricane
[E] I was flat on my back, my feet in the [D#] thorns I was in between the apples and the [C#m] chloroform
She came to me often, I was sure I [A] was dying It was always hard [B] to tell if she was laughing or [E] crying
That's when I heard somebody [C#m] _ calling [A] In the dark I [B] thought I heard [E] somebody call
_ _ Joan never cared about the in [G#m]-betweens Combed her hair with a blade did the maid of [C#m] Orleans
And said Christ walked on water we could wade through the [A] war
You don't need to [B] tell me who the fire is [E] for Bring me a love that could sweeten a [G#m] sword
A boat that could love the rocks or the [C#m] shore The love of an iceberg reaching out for the [A] wreck
And you love me like the [B] crosses of the nape of [E] the neck _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [B] _ [E] Was it Case Jones?
Was it Case he is the [D#] bad who died out of pride and got famous for [C#m] that?
He held by a swerve laid low by the [A] curve Do you ever think [B] they ever thought they got what they [E] deserved?
Don't pity the bullet, pity the [G#m] man Who blew upon the place in the same sad [C#m] plan
The bullet left the barrel going over the [A] falls Cut it all the way [B] down I never asked to be [E] involved
I thought I heard somebody [C#m] _ call
[A] In the dark I [B] thought I heard [E] somebody call _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ [E] General George began to dab I think he'd banked little [G#m] pills
Said his man took the top of some hell of a [C#m] hill To the whisper of trees gave my tailor a [A] breeze
He said I love the way the [B] wind comes to tickle in my [E] knees
Jane tucked the apple right between the [G#m] eyes I was thinking of her when you came [C#m] outside
Lemonade on your breath, the sun in your [A] hair Did I mention how I [B] love it when you're under [E] way?
Deep in the belly of a whale I [G#m] found her Down with the deep blue jail [C#m] around her
Running her hand through the ribs in the [A] dark Floor is a [B] calamity a gentle little [E] gawk
I thought I heard somebody [C#m] call
In [A] the dark I [B] thought I heard [E] somebody call
I thought I heard somebody [C#m] call
In [A] the dark I thought I heard
