Introduction:
C7M G
verse 1
C7M
So does the ink dry out
G
So does the singing mouth get sung up
C7M G
So does the new headline no longer reach the town
C7M G
So does the rosy fire of the horizon fade into dull grey
C7M G
While the trees out by the parking lot get greener with the rain
Pre-Chorus
Am Em
On a dazzling field of blue
Am G
She comes sailing into view
Am C/G D
All around her engines scream and guns unload
Chorus
Am C/G G
Comes Indiana through the smoke
Am C/G G
Indiana through the smoke
verse 2
C7M
But you were bigger than life
G
You were giant, you were earth-size
C7M
And now you're mostly just your mind
G
And your dim eyes, and your fractured spine
C7M
And you're sailing to the great unknown
G
But you've gotta go alone there
C7M
You can't even take your childhood bride
G
But it's okay that she's crying
Pre-Chorus
Am Em
With her OS2U fleet
Am G
Anti-aircraft battery
Am C/G D
She is occupied by 1800 souls
Chorus 2
Am C/G G
Comes Indiana through the smoke
Am C/G G
Indiana through the smoke
verse 3
C7M
And this great big buzzing death-hole swells
G
At the corner of the carpet
C7M
Nurses going in and out
G
Well they all just step around it
C7M
And the room is moving in so close
G
As some moment's coming nearer
C7M
And your story's coming out so slow
G
But I come closer and can hear her
Pre-Chorus
Am Em
And she steams out Casco Bay
Am G
Part of Task Force 58
Am C/G D
And the young men 'board her all are brave and bold
Am C/G G
Comes Indiana through the smoke
Am C/G G
Indiana through the smoke
Pre-Chorus
Am Em
She won't sink or run aground
Am G
She won't turn back, she won't back down
Am C/G D
When you find your time to finally let go
Chorus 4
Am C/G G
Comes Indiana through the smoke
Am C/G G
Indiana through the smoke
