Mt St Helens Tab

by Mirah


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


	  			   
From the morning when I rise from my bed
	   		  	  	
Till the evening when I lay my head in slumber
	  			   
Oh, the loss of you does wreck my days
	   	   	   
Leaves me with a violent hunger
	  	      
I will never be free from you
	   	      
Till I escape the lions jaw
	  	      
There's no welcome in the end
	   	     	      
There's no reason to return again

 	 
 	 


The mountain stood so large

We were humbled

We walked a high and lonely path

The sun beat down on the ground

We looked around us

There were no trees there

We found a creek there

We dipped our feet there

We were alone there

There was still hope there


There had been a great disaster

The hot winds came just after

A tremendous shock was felt

Survivors often tell

The trees all hit the ground

Death was all around
			     
And not a single lonesome sound

 	 
 	 


The example lay before you

You knew what you had to do

You had the pressure in you

To destroy the one who loved you
			   
The death was all around


You were hotter to me than the sun
				     
That burned me up the day we went to Mt. St. Helens

And if the special death you gave to me
				
Is the prize I get to take home silently then suffer with the fact that
				    /
I could never be your friend
			
I could never come back home again
