Belly Of June Chords

   
-----
*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.


CAPO 3


G             Fmaj7        C
It's noon in the belly of June.

G               Fmaj7                      C
Let's wager with bodies, the night's coming soon.

G            Fmaj7        C
Come like a lover to me

G               Fmaj7                      C
Let's lay in the dark and meet the birds and the bees.



G             Fmaj7        C
A scene at the past county fair.

G               Fmaj7                      C
She swore to his face: "There's no rib that we share!"

G             Fmaj7        C
Please won't you leave her alone.

G               Fmaj7                      C
She's telling you boy, you don't know when to go.



Am             C                   G
She's had enough she sadly sung:

Fmaj7                 C                        G
"We're no longer young, we're lazy and lithe,

Fmaj7                  C
and our age makes us dumb.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/h/horse_feathers/belly_of_june_crd.html ]
G                  Fmaj7        C
Don't call on me, paltering and pale,

G                         Fmaj7               C
With sin on your mind, and dirt under your nails."


Dm               Am            C            G
Well, he holds to a vow just because.

Dm               Am            C            G
Lamenting a love that never was.

Dm               Am            C            G
 It's a thing that's never tested or tried.

Dm               Am            C            G
In a June that up and bloomed and quickly died.


G             Fmaj7        C
It's noon in the belly of June.

G                                 Fmaj7                      C
Let's wager with bodies, the night's coming soon.

G             Fmaj7        C
Come like a lover to me

G                                 Fmaj7                      C
Let's lay in the dark and meet the birds and the bees.


G           Fmaj7        C       G
Fmaj7    C
Between the two and under the sun,

G                          Fmaj7              C
G         Fmaj7    C
It's a war that's always fought and is never won.

G             Fmaj7        C                G
 Fmaj7    C
Between the two and under the light,

G                         Fmaj7                    C
         G
At last she's never convinced and won't stay the night.
