To the Dogs or Whoever Chords & Lyrics by Josh Ritter
To the Dogs or Whoever
guitar chords lyrics
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
C Am
I thought I heard somebody calling
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
