This is what I have figured. Just figure out where to strum and get that pattern down

C Dm Am C

From the morning when I rise from my bed

Dm C Am C Dm Am C

Till the evening when I lay my head in slumber

C Dm Am C

Oh, the loss of you does wreck my days

Dm C Am C Dm C

Leaves me with a violent hunger

C Dm Am C

I will never be free from you

Dm C Am C Am

Till I escape the lions jaw

C Dm Am C

There's no welcome in the end

Dm Am G Am

There's no reason to return again

Am C/G

The mountain stood so large

C/G

We were humbled

We walked a high and lonely path

C/G

The sun beat down on the ground

We looked around us

C/G

There were no trees there

We found a creek there

C/G

We dipped our feet there

We were alone there

C/G

There was still hope there

There had been a great disaster

C/G

The hot winds came just after

A tremendous shock was felt

C/G

Survivors often tell

The trees all hit the ground

C/G

Death was all around

Am C/G

And not a single lonesome sound

Am C/G

The example lay before you

C/G

You knew what you had to do

You had the pressure in you

C/G

To destroy the one who loved you

Am C/G

The death was all around

C/G

You were hotter to me than the sun

Am G

That burned me up the day we went to Mt. St. Helens

C/G

And if the special death you gave to me

Am G

Is the prize I get to take home silently then suffer with the fact that

C/G Am G Am G C G

I could never be your friend

C/G Am G

I could never come back home again
