Intro: Em G D Em 

verse 1 

         Em            G       D          Em 
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things 
             Em                 G            Em 
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook 
               Em             G                         D     Em 
The fact that they'd been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach 
         Em                  G                   Em 
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter 

 
           Em            G      D         Em 
Don’t you come here and say I didn’t warn you 
          Em         G       Em 
About the way your world can alter 
         Em      G         D            Em 
And oh, how you try to command it all, still 
        Em                  G                   Em 
Every single time it all shifts one way or another 



           C         G               D           Em 
And I’m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you 
         C       G       D        Em 
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar 
       C         G      D       Em 
As we evaded and hollering for you 
       C      G     D Em 
And I never really knew, what to do 


Em G D Em 


verse 2
 
        Em                G               D          Em 
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable 
             Em        G         Em 
That I could read you just like a book 
       Em      G          D             Em 
For now I can only guess what’s coming next 
   Em             G        Em 
By examining your timid smile 
         Em           G        D Em 
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin’ you back around 

 
          C        G              D           Em 
And I’m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you 
         C       G         D     Em 
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar 
        C               G     D       Em 
Has me singing out and searching for you 
       C     G      D Em 
And I never really knew, what to do 


Em G D Em 
Em G D Em 


Bridge
 
Em           D            C                Em 
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill 
  Em             D           C                     Em 
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I’d sing 


          C          G        D               Em 
And every once in a while I’d sing a song for you 
           C               G                 D             Em 
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea 
          C                                  Em 
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me 


Chorus
  
        C      G         D       Em 
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar 
    C             G       D       Em 
Is something that I have heard before 
   C          G         D       Em 
a children’s tale, the lonesome wail 
Em   G    D           Em 
of a liiiiion’s roar 


Em G D Em 
Em G D Em
