Mt St Helens

          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
Am       C/G

Am
The mountain stood so large
C/G
We were humbled
Am
We walked a high and lonely path
C/G
The sun beat down on the ground
Am
We looked around us
C/G
There were no trees there
Am
We found a creek there
C/G
We dipped our feet there
Am
We were alone there
C/G
There was still hope there

Am
There had been a great disaster
C/G
The hot winds came just after
Am
A tremendous shock was felt
C/G
Survivors often tell
Am
The trees all hit the ground
C/G
Death was all around
Am                           C/G
And not a single lonesome sound

Am       C/G
Am       C/G

Am
The example lay before you
C/G
You knew what you had to do
Am
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
