Intro: AmCGAmVerse:
AmCGAm
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
AmCAm
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
AmCGAm
The fact that they'd been blindly deceived by those who preach and pray and teach
AmCAm
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter
AmCGAm
Don’t you come here and say I didn’t warn you
AmCAm
G#out the way your world can alter
AmCGAm
And oh, how you try to command it all, still
AmCAm
Every single time it all shifts one way or another
Chorus:
FCGAm
And I’m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
FCGAm
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
FCGAm
As we evaded and hollering for you
FCGAm
And I never really knew, what to do
Instrumental: AmCGAmVerse:
AmCGAm
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
AmCAm
That I could read you just like a book
AmCGAm
For now I can only guess what’s coming next
AmCG
By examining your timid smile
AmCGAm
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin’ you back around
Chorus:
FCGAm
And I’m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
FCGAm
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
FCGAm
Has me singing out and searching for you
FCGAm
And I never really knew, what to do
Instrumental:
AmCGAmAmCGAmBridge:
D7FAm
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
D7FAm
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I’d sing
FCGAm
And every once in a while I’d sing a song for you
FCGAm
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
FAm
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me
Chorus -strum once-:
FCGAm
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
FCGAm
Is something that I have heard before
FCGAm
a children’s tale, the lonesome wail
AmCGAm
of a liiiiion’s roar
