Chords for "The Last Day Of Pompeii" By: Michael Peter Smith 1997

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
This is a tune that came from watching Tony Bennett and Camp Basie
_ while I was in a concert.
Tony Bennett, Camp Basie, and Elphys Gerald.
And then right after that I saw The Last [D] Day at the Pompeii with Steve Reeves,
which is an old Italian flick.
[A#] Steve Reeves was kind of the Arnold of his day.
_ [D] _ And famous in the muscle [F#] magazines for a perfectly formed jaw.
Just a little bit of trivia [C] that you wouldn't know if you hadn't come here tonight. _
[G] _ _ [N] And that was an Italian movie where everything was dubbed,
and they had that one actor who lived in Rome who does all the English parts.
But you can't tell the difference between who's talking.
And their mouths always move a lot longer.
_ [C#m]
And they're actually saying [G#] something.
_ Marcellus! _
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ _
And [G] the voice is always the same.
Are you going to the Coliseum?
[A#] Yes!
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ Let's all go, [C#] alright? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ So I thought, wouldn't it [D#] be cool if The Last Day at the [C#] Pompeii was a musical
starring Camp Basie, Elphys [C] Gerald, and [C#] Tony Bennett? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ A lot of people would have said, what a dumb idea.

_ [B] Lost up for me
_ [F#] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Bm] And now that I'm [E] gone
All [C#m] that love gone rushing [F#m] round
And I'm [Bm] all alone
[Dm] And I ain't even gonna [C#m] wait
_ _ [F#] I [C#m] ain't gonna waste [Bm] my life
You think you're my love, but [E] you think you're [C] next
And I ain't [B] gonna care [A#] what I'm [A] not _ [Bm] now

[C#m] I'm the last day of Pompeii
You were born safe, [Bm] oh well, man
So I ain't [B] gonna care what I'm not [Cm] _ [Bm] now
_ Who's taking up the slag drum
[Bm] I'm gonna let [C#m] it come and go
[A#] I'm gonna [Bm] let it come and go
Oh well, _ man, [E] I'm gonna let [A] it go
I don't [B] know
_ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ You've been a [G#m]
great, good [C#] girl
_ _ I [A] know I could have
[C#] Fallen in love with chocolate and [G#] cigarettes
But _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
you've [F#] been [C#] so [C] imperfect _
[Bm] _ [A#] Stranger [F#] than blues _
Hot stuff for [E] me to remember _ _ _ _
I'm [Bm] not too young to call
And be [C#m] the dance you're never [F#] born _
[Bm] Oh well, _ man, [B] I ain't gonna let [C#] it
You [F#] know [E] I'm not
My [Bm] life's different, my [B]
love's different
_ [C] _ [B] I'm different, [A#] I'm different
I know [B] I'm not my life
You're different, my _ love's different
[C] And if [B] I'm dead
[A#] I know [Bm] I'm not my life
You're different, man, my life
You're [B] different, [C] my [B] love's different _
