Neko Case - Polar Nettles (Middle Cyclone)
Capo 2
* walk down on these two chords -  E   D   C   B,  C   B   A  G  
[Verse 1]
He takes his dinner in the Cmaj7bed
Love sickened and inGfirmed
The orderly fEmound him there
Filleted on the Cmaj7marble stairs
EmHat still in hand
His sAmmoking remains
Blown B7out by a kiss from nurse someday Emsoon
Someday soon, Csomeday soon, A7someday soon
(   Em      C        Am   B7during recorder solo)
EmSomeday, Csomeday, A7someday
[Verse 2]
His Emeyes are closed, he mouths her name
The Amrosary, her lips and tongue
She Emis the centrifuge that throws
The Amspires from the sun
    Em*            C*
The Sistine chapel painted with a gattling gun
EmSomeday soon, Csomeday soon, A7someday soon
EmSomeday soon, Csomeday soon
[Verse 3]
Polar nettles set on Gend
Move like starlings up a Emcliff
Antennae of her foggy Ctouch
The force field round her frosty Amhips
Whose shape recalls the wicked Emspade
That buried him but on his Amlips
The laEmst rites of nB7urse
Someday Emsoon
