** If changing up the pattern too much gives you trouble, try with the regular pattern, and add a pinch with the basenote of the chord you're on and the high e. Add the note on the high e just before the pinch, and you should get the "pling- pling" sound that Bear's Den have ** ** Your pinky should be on the high e through the entire song ** G Am We built our home out on the slopes, Em Pompeii beneath she lay above, C How she haunted our home, How she haunted our home. G Am You were a God in my eyes, Em Above the clouds above the skies, C You were a God in my eyes, You were a God. Instrumental:

G Am You took me walking through the town Em Showed me the statues underground, C Said, "just don't they look at peace," Sometimes I wish that was me. G Am I was the son you always had, Em Tugging at your coat while you were sad, C I was the son you always had, I was the son you always had. Instrumental:

Chorus G Just don't cry, Am Hold your head up high, Em She would want you to, C She would want you to. G Please just don't cry, Am Hold your head up high, Em She would want you to, C She would want you to. G Am You said stay in the car and wait, Em There's just some things I have to say, C Don't you know I miss her too, I miss her just as much as you. G Am So my father and my son, Em As you end what you've begun, C You'll lie patient by her side, With roses red and lilies white. G Am I was too young to understand, Em The flowers slipping from your hand, C I was too young to understand, I was too young to understand. I was too young to understand, Em The flowers sleeping in your hand, C I was too young to understand, I was too young to understand. ** Strum this part. You could use simple downstrokes, or a more complex strum. ** G Oh please just don't cry, Am Hold your head up high, Em She would want you to, C She would want you to. G And just don't cry, Am Hold your head up high, Em She would want you to, C She would want you to.
