Belly of June Lyrics
*So, this is my first submission here. I LOVE this band. I'm fairly confident about
these chords, based on seeing it played live (online) and in the music video. I got the
lyrics from a website, but they seem accurate enough to me. I hope you enjoy it (and
please correct what you think is wrong!)
The basic chord progression is G, Fmaj7, C. Later I believe it changes for one little
bit to to Dm, Am, C, G.
You can play around with the strumming of the G chord to occasionally lift off the 5th
string, playing a Gadd9 sort of chord.
It's noon in the belly of June.
Let's wager with bodies, the night's coming soon.
Come like a lover to me
Let's lay in the dark and meet the birds and the bees.
A scene at the past county fair.
She swore to his face: "There's no rib that we share!"
Please won't you leave her alone.
She's telling you boy, you don't know when to go.
She's had enough she sadly sung:
"We're no longer young, we're lazy and lithe,
and our age makes us dumb.
Don't call on me, paltering and pale,
With sin on your mind, and dirt under your nails."
Well, he holds to a vow just because.
Lamenting a love that never was.
It's a thing that's never tested or tried.
In a June that up and bloomed and quickly died.
It's noon in the belly of June.
Let's wager with bodies, the night's coming soon.
Come like a lover to me
Let's lay in the dark and meet the birds and the bees.

Between the two and under the sun,
aj7
It's a war that's always fought and is never won.
j7
Between the two and under the light,
aj7
At last she's never convinced and won't stay the night.
