Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

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

[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 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

[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 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
