[Verse 1]
DCeep in the belly of a whale I found her
DEmown with the deep blue jail around her
RAmunning her hands through the ribs of the dark
FFlorence and Calamity and Joan of Arc
[Verse 1]
I Clove the way she looks in her underwear
I lose my Empage then the plot then the book then I swear
She makes the Ammost of her time by lovin' me plenty
She kFnows there’ll come a day when we Gwon’t be gettin' any
[Instrumental]
| C | Em | Am | F G |
[Verse 2]
The stCain of the sepia the butcher Crimea
Through the wrEmeck of a brass band I though I could see her
In a caAmkewalk she came through the dead and the lame
Just a liFttle bird floatin' on a Ghurricane
I was fClat on my back with my feet in the thorns
I was Emin between the apples and the chloroform
She Amcame to me often I was sure I was dyin'
It was aFlways hard to tell if she was lGaughin' or cryin'
[Chorus]
I thoCught I heard somebody cAmallin'
In the dFark I thought I heGard somebody cCall
[Verse 3]
JCoan never cared about the in-betweens
Combed her haEmir with a blade did the Maid of Orleans
Said, Am"Christ walked on water we can wade through the war."
You dFon’t need to tell me who the fGire is for
Oh, bCring me the love that can sweeten a sword
A bEmoat that can love the rocks or the shore
The Amlove of the iceberg reachin' out for a wreck
Can you loFve me like the crosses love the nGape of the neck?
[Instrumental]
| C | Em | Am | F G |
[Verse 4]
Was it CCasey Jones or Casey at the Bat
Who dEmied out of pride and got famous for that
KAmilled by a swerve laid low by the curve
Do you eFver think they ever thought they Ggot what they deserved
Don't pCity the bullet, pity the man
Who bEmoth find their place in the same sad plan
Who bAmoth are like the barrel going over the falls
Cryin' aFll the way down, "I never aGsked to be involved!"
[Chorus]
I thoCught I heard somebody caAmlling
In the dFark I thought I heGard somebody cCall
[Instrumental]
| C | Em | Am | F G |
[Verse 5]
General GeCorge began the day by takin' pink little pills
Sent his Emmen to the top of some hell of a hill
Through the wAmhisper of trees came artillery breeze
He said, "I lFove the way the wind comes a-tiGcklin' my knees"
JCane shot the apple right between the eyes
I was tEmhinkin' of her when you came outside
LemoAmnade on your breath, sun in your hair
Did I mFention how I love you look in your unGderwear?
[Refrain]
DCeep in the belly of a whale I found her
DEmown with the deep blue jail around her
RAmunnin' her hands through the ribs of the dark
FFlorence and Calamity and JGoan of Arc
[Chorus]
I thoCught I heard somebody caAmllin'
In the dFark I thought I heGard somebody cCall
[Chorus]
I thoCught I heard somebody caAmllin'
In the dF*ark I thought I heard somebody cCall
