The picking pattern is weird but play it a million times, you'll get it.
Don't cry too much either watching the video, tears rust strings.

[Verse 1]
C                            Dm
We built our home out on the slopes,
                         Am
Pompeii beneath she lay above,
                    F
How she haunted our home,
                    C
How she haunted our home.
                     Dm
You were a God in my eyes,
                           Am
Above the clouds above the skies,
                     F
You were a God in my eyes,
 
You were a God.
 
[Interlude]
C  Dm  Am  F
 
[Verse 2]
C                               Dm
You took me walking through the town
                           Am
Showed me the statues underground,
                               F
Said, "just don't they look at peace,"
                          C
Sometimes I wish that was me.
                         Dm
I was the son you always had,
                                    Am
Tugging at your coat while you were sad,
                         F
I was the son you always had,
                       C
I was the son you always had.
 
[Interlude]
(C) Dm  Am  F
 
[Chorus]
C
Don't cry,
          Dm
Hold your head up high,
          Am
She would want you to,
          F
She would want you to.
            C
Please just don't cry,
          Dm
Hold your head up high,
          Am
She would want you to,
          F
She would want you to.

[Verse 3]
C                            Dm
You said stay in the car and wait,
                                   Am
There's just some things I have to say,
                          F
Don't you know I miss her too,
                           C
I miss her just as much as you.
 
                    Dm
So my father and my son,
                         Am
As you end what you've begun,
                          F
You'll lie patient by her side,
                          C
With roses red come lilies white.

C                       Dm
I was too young to understand,
                               Am
The flowers slipping from your hand,
                         F
I was too young to understand,
                         C
I was too young to understand.
                         Dm
I was too young to understand,
                            Am
The flowers sleeping in her hand,
                         F
I was too young to understand,

I was too young to understand.

She would want you to.
