Josh Ritter - To The Dogs Or Whoever Chords & Tabs

Capo: 4
        
 C
Deep in the belly of a whale I found her 
 Em
Down with the deep blue jail around her 
 Am
Running her hands through the ribs of the dark 
 F                         G
Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc

 C
I love the way she looks in her underwear 
 Em
I lose my page then the plot then the book then I swear 
 Am
She makes the most of her time by loving me plenty 
 F                                               G
She knows there’ll come a day when we won’t be getting any

 C Em Am F G

 C
The stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea 
 Em
Through the wreck of a brass band I though I could see her 
 Am
In a cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame 
 F                                  G
Just a little bird floating on a hurricane

 C
I was flat on my back with my feet in the thorns 
 Em
I was in between the apples and the chloroform 
 Am
She came to me often I was sure I was dying 
 F                                      G
It was always hard to tell if she was laughing or crying

     C                       Am
I thought I heard somebody calling 
        F                 G             C
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call

 C
Joan never cared about the in-betweens 
 Em
Combed her hair with a blade did the Maid of Orleans 
 Am
Said Christ walked on water we can wade through the war 
 F                                 G
You don’t need to tell me who the fire is for

 C
Oh bring me the love that can sweeten a sword 
 Em
A boat that can love the rocks or the shore 
 Am
The love of the iceberg reaching out for a wreck 
 F                                         G
Can you love me like the crosses love the nape of the neck?

 C Em Am F G

 C
Was it Casey Jones or Casey at the Bat 
 Em
Who died out of pride and got famous for that 
 Am
Killed by a swerve laid low by the curve 
 F                                        G
Do you ever think they ever thought they got what they deserved

 C
Pity the bullet and pity the man 
 Em
Who both find their place in the same sad plan 
 Am
Who both are like the barrel going over the falls 
 F                                G
Crying all the way down I never asked to be involved

     C                       Am
I thought I heard somebody calling 
        F                 G             C
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call

 C Em Am F G

 C
General George began the day by taking pink little pills 
 Em
Sent his men to the top of some hell of a hill 
 Am
Through the whisper of trees came artillery breeze 
 F                                        G
He said I love the way the wind comes a-tickling my knees

 C
Jane shot the apple right between the eyes 
 Em
I was thinking of her when you came outside 
 Am
Lemonade on your breath sun in your hair 
 F                            G
Did I mention how I love you in your underwear?

 C
Deep in the belly of a whale I found her 
 Em
Down with the deep blue jail around her 
 Am
Running her hands through the ribs of the dark 
 F                         G
Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc

        F                 G             C
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
     C                       Am
I thought I heard somebody calling 
        F                 G             C
In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
