🎶 Above The Clouds Of Pompeii

Intro: [A#] [Eb] [Bb] [Em]
===

Verse
[A#]We built our home out on the [Eb]slopes,
Pompeii beneath she lay [Bb]above,
How she haunted our [Em]home,
How she haunted our [A#]home.
You were a God in my [Eb]eyes,
Above the clouds above the [Bb]skies,
You were a God in my [Em]eyes,
You were a God. [A#]

Interlude
[A#] [Eb] [Bb] [Em]
Verse
[A#]You took me walking through the [Eb]town
Showed me the statues [Bb]underground,
Said, "just don't they look at [Em]peace,"
Sometimes I wish that was [A#]me.
I was the son you always [Eb]had,
Tugging at your coat while you were [Bb]sad,
I was the son you always [Em]had,
I was the son you always [A#]had.

Interlude
[A#] [Eb] [Bb] [Em]
Chorus
Just [A#]don't cry,
Hold your [Eb]head up high,
She would [Bb]want you to,
She would [Em]want you to.
Please just [A#]don't cry,
Hold your [Eb]head up high,
She would [Bb]want you to,
She would [Em]want you to.

Interlude
[A#] [Eb] [Bb] [Em]
Verse
[A#]You said stay in the car and [Eb]wait,
There's just some things I have to [Bb]say,
Don't you know I miss her [Em]too,
I miss her just as much as [A#]you.

So my father and my [Eb]son,
As you end what you've [Bb]begun,
You'll lie patient by her [Em]side,
With roses red and lilies [A#]white.

Interlude
[A#] [Eb] [Bb] [Em]
Bridge
[A#]I was too young to [Eb]understand,
The flowers slipping from your [Bb]hand,
I was too young to [Em]understand,
I was too young to [A#]understand.
I was too young to [Eb]understand,
The flowers slipping from your [Bb]hand,
I was too young to [Em]understand,
I was too young to [A#]understand.

Interlude
[A#] [Eb] [Bb] [Em] [A#] [Eb] [Bb] [Em]

Chorus
Oh please just [A#]don't cry,
Hold your [Eb]head up high,
She would [Bb]want you to,
She would [Em]want you to.
And just [A#]don't cry,
Hold your [Eb]head up high,
She would [Bb]want you to,
She would [Em]want you to.
