This is my first tab and there was no Meredith Bragg on the site before this so i wanted
get them on here. Meredith Bragg and his band, the Terminals, are great. I first heard
on NBC's "Chuck," but I'll stop rambling now. I believe these are the right chords but
me if I'm wrong. I hope somebody out there can make use of this. Enjoy.

CAm
When the stones rained down
FC
And smoke rose above the clouds
Am
Dodging debris
FC
My uncle put his fleet to sea
AmFC
And as he waved and turned away
AmFC
Set his sails across the bay
AmG
Who could ever guess
F
My dear Tacitus
GC
The gods were so enraged
Am
And the lightning arced
FC
And dust turned the daylight dark
Am
And the helmsmen cried
FC
Wondered if they'd survive
AmFC
But through the thickening smoke
AmFC
They found the harbor choked
AmG
Still he urged them on
F
While he stayed calm
GC
And the ash fell like snow
Am
And the mountain growled
FC
Tearing the buildings down
Am
And for two dark days
FC
Fires lit the Naples Bay
AmFC
And when it came for them to leave
AmFC
There was no escape by sea
AmGF
And his body fell as the vapor swelled
GC
They say he died as if asleep
ACACACGCAm
A lonely ridge
FC
A couple focus in
Am
Their lenses train
FC
On smoke, and fire, and flame
AmFC
And in unison they rise
AmFC
As the plume reached greater heights
AmGF
While around the bend a grey cloud descends
GC
That will be their demise
Am
And with blinding speed
FC
They are both killed instantly
Am
And the island roars
FC
Boiling the ocean floor
AmFC
Though their bodies disappear
AmFC
Mingle with the earth and air
AmGF
They will echo on through the work they've done
GC
Projected through the years

C (let ring)
