And the mountain Amgrowled
Tearing the Fbuildings Cdown
And for two dark Amdays
Fires lit the FNaples CBay
And when Amit came for Fthem to Cleave
There Amwas no Fescape by Csea
And Amhis body Gfell as Fthe vapor swelled

That will Gbe their deCmise
And with blinding Amspeed
They are both killed FinstantCly
And the island Amroars

C Am

When the stones rained down

F C

And smoke rose above the clouds

Dodging debris

F C

My uncle put his fleet to sea

Am F C

And as he waved and turned away

Am F C

Set his sails across the bay

Am G

Who could ever guess

My dear Tacitus

G C

The gods were so enraged

And the lightning arced

F C

And dust turned the daylight dark

And the helmsmen cried

F C

Wondered if they'd survive

Am F C

But through the thickening smoke

Am F C

They found the harbor choked

Am G

Still he urged them on

While he stayed calm

G C

And the ash fell like snow

And the mountain growled

F C

Tearing the buildings down

And for two dark days

F C

Fires lit the Naples Bay

Am F C

And when it came for them to leave

Am F C

There was no escape by sea

Am G F

And his body fell as the vapor swelled

G C

They say he died as if asleep

Am C Am C Am C G

A lonely ridge

F C

A couple focus in

Their lenses train

F C

On smoke, and fire, and flame

Am F C

And in unison they rise

Am F C

As the plume reached greater heights

Am G F

While around the bend a grey cloud descends

G C

That will be their demise

And with blinding speed

F C

They are both killed instantly

And the island roars

F C

Boiling the ocean floor

Am F C

Though their bodies disappear

Am F C

Mingle with the earth and air

Am G F

They will echo on through the work they've done

G C

Projected through the years

Am C Am C Am C G
