Bear's Den – Above The Clouds Of Pompeii (Ukulele)

E
We built our home out on the slopes

F#m
Pompeii beneath, she lay above

C#m
And how she haunted our home

A
How she haunted our home

E
You were a god in my eyes

F#m
Above the clouds, above the skies

C#m
You were a god in my eyes

A
You were a god

E
You took me walking through the town

F#m
Showed me the statues underground

C#m
Said ‘just don't they look at peace?'

A
Sometimes I wish that was me

E
I was the son you always had

F#m
Tugging at your coat while you were sad

C#m
I was the son you always had

A
I was the son you always had

E
Don't cry

F#m
Hold your head up high

C#m
She would want you to

A
She would want you to

E
Please, just don't cry

F#m
Hold your head up high

C#m
She would want you to

A
She would want you to

E
You said 'stay in the car and wait

F#m
There's just some things I have to say'

C#m
Don't you know I miss her, too?

A
I miss her just as much as you

E
So, my father and my son

F#m
As you end what she's begun

C#m
You'll lie patient by her side

A
With roses red come lilies white

E
I was too young to understand

F#m
The flowers slipping from your hands

C#m
I was too young to understand

A
I was too young to understand

E
I was too young to understand

F#m
The flowers sleeping in her hands

C#m
I was too young to understand

A
I was too young to understand

E
Don't cry

F#m
Hold your head up high

C#m
She would want you to

A
She would want you to

E
Please, just don't cry

F#m
Hold your head up high

C#m
She would want you to

A
She would want you to

E
And just don't cry

F#m
Hold your head up high

C#m
She would want you to

A
She would want you to

E
Please, just don't cry

F#m
Hold your head up high

C#m
She would want you to

A
She would want you to
