Lions Mane

Iron & Wine - Lion's Mane
from "The Creek Drank the Cradle" (2002)
Mapped by: C. MacInnis

This is my first Iron & Wine tab, and I am proud to submit this correct version of the
beautiful opening track from "The Creek Drank the Cradle".

I wish I could say that I was entirely responsible for this tab and how correct it is,
but I am deeply indebted to "aarvid" and the other fine folks over at
http://www.passingafternoon.com who, on top of running a damn fine Iron & Wine fansite,
have a forum of great contributors who originally posted a barebones draft of this tab.
I have added the lyrics and mapped how the riffs fit into the structure of the song. You
should be able to pick up on it rather quickly with a bit of practice.

Support Samuel Beam. See Iron & Wine in concert and purchase his CDs. Truly a gem of a musician.

Enjoy!

Run like a race for family when

1 and love is a tired symphony
1 you hum when you're awake
2 and love is a crying baby mama
3 warned you not to shake
4 and love's the best sensation
5 hiding in the lion's
1 mane
1 1 1

verse progression, instrumental with banjo & guitar solo:

1 1 2 3 4 5 1 1 1 1 so i'll

1 clear the road, the gravel and the
1 thornbush in your path
2 that burns a scented oil that i'll
3 drip into your bath
4 the water's there to warm you
5 and the earth is warmer when
1 you laugh
1

1 and love is the scene i render
1 when you catch me wide awake
2 and love is the dream you enter
3 though i shake and shake and shake you
4 and love's the best endeavor
5 waiting in the lion's
1 mane
1 1 1

second solo/outro:

1 1 2 3 4 5 1 1 1 1
