Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]So does the ink dry[Em] out[C]
So does the singing [G]mouth get sung up
[C]So does the new [Em]headline no
[C]longer reach [G]the town
[C]So does the rosy fire of the
horizon [G]fade into dull grey
While [C]the trees out by [Am]the parking lot
[C]get greener with the rain
[G]

[Verse 2]
On a [Am]dazzling field of [Em]blue
She comes [C]sailing into [G]view
All [Am]around her engines scream
[C]and guns unloa[D]d

[Verse 3]
[Am]Comes Indiana through the
[C]smoke[G][D][Am]
Indiana through the [C]smoke
[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]But you were bigger than lif[Am]e
You were gi[G]ant, you were earth-size
[Asus4]An d And [Bm]now[G][C]
you're mostly just your [Am]mind
And [G]your dim eyes,
and your frac[Am]tured spine
[G]And you're sailing[C] to
the great unknown
But you've gotta [Am]go al[G]one there
You can't [C]even take your childhood bride
But it's [G]okay that she's crying

[Verse 5]
With [Am]her O[Em]S2U fleet
[C]Anti-aircraft battery
[G]She is oc [Am]cupied by 18[C]00 souls
[D]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Comes Indiana through the
[C]smoke[G][D][Am]
Indiana through the [C]smoke
[G]

[Verse 7]
And this great [F#dim]big buzzing
death-hole swell[D]s
swell[C]s
At [G]the corner of the car
[Asus4]pet[G]
[Em]Nurses [F#dim]going in and out[C]
Well they [G]all just step around it
And [Am]the room is moving [F#dim]in so close[D][C]
As some mo[G]ment's coming [Asus4]nearer[G]
[Bm]And [C]your story's coming [F#dim]out so slow[D]
[C]But I come clo[G]ser and can hear her

[Verse 8]
And she [Am]steams out Casco [C]Bay
[G]Part of [C]Task [G]Force 58
And the [Am]young men 'board her
[C]all are brave and bold
[D][G]

[Verse 9]
[Am]Comes Indiana through the
[C]smoke[G][D][Am]
Indiana through the [C]smoke
[G]

[Verse 10]
She won't [Am]sink or run [Em]aground
She won't [Am]turn back[C],
she won't back [G]down
When you [Am]find your time
to [C]fi nally let [D]go
