[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

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

Indiana through the smoke
