Lions Of The Kalahari
Artist: Sam Roberts
Album: Love at the End of the World 


G
When I die won't you please feed me
G
To the lions of the Kalahari
G
I don't care if they eat my bones
G
Cause I know I won't be going home


(Chorus)            
C        Am                  G
Oh, it's never far away from me
C        Am                  G
Oh, it's never far away from me


G
Rubber on dust as the wheels go round
G
I had never heard a sweeter sound
G
Till the day that I heard my baby cry
G
These things I shall carry until I die


Chorus


    Em         D            C          Em                      
The rains came heavy and we closed our eyes
    Em              D            G        Em
And listened to the song pouring from the skies
    D                                  Em
Two miles from the border as the eagle flies
        Em            D           G     Em
But the desert is the same on the other side


Musical Interlude (4 bars each):  D    Em     D     D


G
The leaves on Mt. Royal turn from green to gold
G
And crimson as the autumn light takes hold
G
October's here, I'm another year old
G
There'll be more tellin' 'fore my story is told

G
Oh, When I die won't you please feed me
G
To the lions of the Kalahari
G
I don't care if they eat my bones
G
Cause I know I won't be going home


C        Am                  G
Oh, it's never far away from me
C        Am                  G
Oh, it's never far away from me
