Vesuvius

by Sufjan Stevens
Sufjan Stevens

Biography:

Sufjan Stevens (Born July 1, 1975) is an American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Petoskey, Michigan. He is known for his lyrically focused and instrumentally rich songs that often relate to faith and family. He has enjoyed wide critical success in the United States. He is considered part of the folk revival through indie pop, but his influences are very broad, including experimental electronic music, the jazz of Vince Guaraldi, and the academic minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass.

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)
EADGBE EADGBE
||||1| ||||1|
||22|| ||22||
|3|||| ||||||

And the weapons of warmth

The tragic oath

Of a permanent blast

Vesuvius

C F
Oh, be kind

C
It hasn't occurred

Am A#
No it hasn't been said

C Dm C F
Suf--jan, follow the path

C Am A#
It leads to an article of imminent death

C Dm C Dm
Suf--jan, follow your heart

Am1
Follow the flame

Am2 A#
Or fall on the floor

Suf--jan, the panic inside

The murdering ghost

That you cannot ignore
