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.

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