To The Dogs Or Whoever Tab par Josh Ritter (Accords Baryton)

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                                    B
She knows there'll come a day when I won't be gettin' any

E
The stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea
            Abm
Through the wreck of a brass band I thought I could see her
     C#m
In a cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame
A                                B
Just a little bird floatin' on a 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                                      B
It was always hard to tell if she was laughing or crying


E                            Abm
I thought I heard somebody callin'

        A                  B              E
In the dark, I thought I heard somebody call.


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                                  B
You don't need to tell me who the fire 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                                          B
Can you love me like the crosses love the nape of the neck?

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                                        B
Do you ever think they ever thought they 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                                 B
Crying all the way down I never asked to be involved

E                          Abm
I though I heard somebody callin'
        A                 B               E
In the dark, I thought I heard somebody call.

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                                       B
He said I love they way the wind comes a-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                                     B
Did I mention how I love you in your underwear?
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                             B
Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc

E                          Abm
I though I heard somebody callin'
        A                 B              E
In the dark, I thought I heard somebody call.
E                          Abm
I though I heard somebody callin'
        A                 B              E
In the dark, I thought I heard somebody call.
