[Intro]
Cmaj7 G
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
So does the ink dry out
G
So does the singing mouth get sung up
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G
So does the new headline no longer reach the town
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G
So does the rosy fire of the horizon fade into dull grey
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 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]
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
But you were bigger than life
G G
You were giant, you were earth-size
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And now you're mostly just your mind
G G
And your dim eyes, and your fractured spine
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And you're sailing to the great unknown
G
But you've gotta go alone there
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
You can't even take your childhood bride
G 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]
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And this great big buzzing death-hole swells
G G
At the corner of the carpet
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Nurses going in and out
G G
Well they all just step around it
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And the room is moving in so close
G G
As some moment's coming nearer
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And your story's coming out so slow
G 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

[Chorus 3]
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]
