Vesuvius Chords

   
Sufjan Stevens: Vesuvius

Notes:
-The first C of each verse on the first half is a two fret slide up from A#
-There are two types of Am in the second part as it's transitioning to the second half 
the song.  I play the first and second Am like this:

Am (1)   Am (2)

And the weapons of warmth

For you have destroyed

         Am      A#
With the elegant smoke

  C Dm               C  F
Ora-cle, I've fallen at last

                       C
But they were the feast

Of a permanent blast

Vesuvius

      C F
Oh, be  kind

No it hasn't been said
