Subject: RE: Chord Req: Michael K. Smith's 'Last Day In Pompeii
Correct lyrics (the previous ones were pretty close):
Last Day Of Pompeii
On the last day of Pompeii
Thought I heard some poor boy say
Oh, wow, man, if I knew then what I know now
I would've done more been more than I been
Had fun more sin, more mortal sin
Oh wow…If I knew then what I know now
I would've sent back that steak that was so overdone
Grabbed that big break while there was time
Made my life into a fantasy
Hot stuff for me to remember remember
And now that I'm a goner
All that lava rushin' 'round the corner
Oh wow I ain't complainin' only thinkin out loud
You know that my life would be different
my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
My life would be different my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
On the last day of Pompeii
Thought I heard some poor girl say
Oh wow man if I knew then what I know now
I could've taken up the slide trombone
Had a garden and grew my own
Oh wow man
If I knew then what I know now
I knew I should've taken that Mediterranean cruise
Filled up on chocolate cigarettes and booze
Given some perfect stranger the blues
Hot stuff for me, all that stuff, speakin of hot stuff
And when Vesuvio came to call
Arrivaderci I'd've had a ball [I'd've had it all]
Oh wow man
I ain't complainin' only thinkin' out loud
You know that my life would be different my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
My life would be different my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
Still working on the CORRECT chords (getting closer, anyway ;-))
