intro
E5 G5 D5 E5
verse 1
E5 G5 D5 E5
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
E5 G5 E5
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
E5 G5 D5 E5
The fact that they'd been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach
E5 G5 E5
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter
verse 1 continued
E5 G5 D5 E5
Don?t you come here and say I didn?t warn you
E5 G5 E5
About the way your world can alter
E5 G5 D5 E5
And oh, how you try to command it all, still
E5 G5 E5
Every single time it all shifts one way or another
chorus
C5 G5 D5 E5
And I?m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
C5 G5 D5 E5
And the lion?s roar, the lion?s roar
C5 G5 D5 E5
As we evaded and hollering for you
C5 G5 D(STRUM ONLY ONCE ) E5
And I never really knew, what to do
E5 G5 D5 E5
verse 2
E5 G5 D5 E5
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
E5 G5 E5
That I could read you just like a book
E5 G5 D5 E5
For now I can only guess what?s coming next
E5 G5 E5
By examining your timid smile
E5 G5 D(STRUM ONLY ONCE ) E5
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin? you back around
chorus
C5 G5 D5 E5
And I?m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
C5 G5 D5 E5
And the lion?s roar, the lion?s roar
C5 G5 D5 E5
Has me singing out and searching for you
C5 G5 D(STRUM ONLY ONCE ) E5
And I never really knew, what to do
E5 G5 D5 E5
E5 G5 D5 E5
bridge
(NOT SURE ABOUT THIS PART)
E5 D5 C5 E5
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
E5 D5 C5 E5
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I?d sing
C5 G5 D5 E5
And every once in a while I?d sing a song for you
C5 G5 D5 E5
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
C(STRUM ONLY ONCE ) E5
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me
chorus
(STRUM ONLY ONCE ALL)
C5 G5 D5 E5
And the lion?s roar, the lion?s roar
C5 G5 D5 E5
Is something that I have heard before
C5 G5 D5 E5
a children?s tale, the lonesome wail
E5 G5 D5 E5
of a liiiiion?s roar
E5 G5 D5 E5
E5 G5 D5 E5
