Capo: 4
        
 C5
Deep in the belly of a whale I found her 
 E5
Down with the deep blue jail around her 
 A5
Running her hands through the ribs of the dark 
 F5                         G5
Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc

 C5
I love the way she looks in her underwear 
 E5
I lose my page then the plot then the book then I swear 
 A5
She makes the most of her time by loving me plenty 
 F5                                               G5
She knows there?ll come a day when we won?t be getting any

 C5 E5 A5 F5 G5

 C5
The stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea 
 E5
Through the wreck of a brass band I though I could see her 
 A5
In a cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame 
 F5                                  G5
Just a little bird floating on a hurricane

 C5
I was flat on my back with my feet in the thorns 
 E5
I was in between the apples and the chloroform 
 A5
She came to me often I was sure I was dying 
 F5                                      G5
It was always hard to tell if she was laughing or crying

     C5                       A5
I thought I heard somebody calling 
        F5                 G5             C5
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call

 C5
Joan never cared about the in-betweens 
 E5
Combed her hair with a blade did the Maid of Orleans 
 A5
Said Christ walked on water we can wade through the war 
 F5                                 G5
You don?t need to tell me who the fire is for

 C5
Oh bring me the love that can sweeten a sword 
 E5
A boat that can love the rocks or the shore 
 A5
The love of the iceberg reaching out for a wreck 
 F5                                         G5
Can you love me like the crosses love the nape of the neck?

 C5 E5 A5 F5 G5

 C5
Was it Casey Jones or Casey at the Bat 
 E5
Who died out of pride and got famous for that 
 A5
Killed by a swerve laid low by the curve 
 F5                                        G5
Do you ever think they ever thought they got what they deserved

 C5
Pity the bullet and pity the man 
 E5
Who both find their place in the same sad plan 
 A5
Who both are like the barrel going over the falls 
 F5                                G5
Crying all the way down I never asked to be involved

     C5                       A5
I thought I heard somebody calling 
        F5                 G5             C5
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call

 C5 E5 A5 F5 G5

 C5
General George began the day by taking pink little pills 
 E5
Sent his men to the top of some hell of a hill 
 A5
Through the whisper of trees came artillery breeze 
 F5                                        G5
He said I love the way the wind comes a-tickling my knees

 C5
Jane shot the apple right between the eyes 
 E5
I was thinking of her when you came outside 
 A5
Lemonade on your breath sun in your hair 
 F5                            G5
Did I mention how I love you in your underwear?

 C5
Deep in the belly of a whale I found her 
 E5
Down with the deep blue jail around her 
 A5
Running her hands through the ribs of the dark 
 F5                         G5
Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc

I thought I heard somebody calling 
        F5                 G5             C5
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
     C5                       A5
I thought I heard somebody calling 
        F5                 G5             C5
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
