Tuning: Standard

Hey all. This is my first tab, so please e-mail me with questions/suggestions I suggest using bar chords to 
facilitate smoother transitions, rather than open chords. 

Verse 1:
 Am                            F
I used to friend with trees, I have a call
 Am                        F
I close my eyes and wait for the echo
 Dm                           Am
And you came in a hurricane, I watched you in the dark
 Dm                         Am
Never seen nothing like it, no one has matched the spark

Verse 2:
 Am                    F
I used to follow you, follow you for days
 Am                   F
I slept beside you, just shadows away
 Dm                        Am   
I watched you by the fire, your hands was all aglow
 Dm                          Am
Under the spell of a circle, I let my face show

Pre Chorus:
 Am
Oh my heart is like an eagle, I love to fall from the sky
               F                                Am
It's so beautiful, I see right through the water's edge
 
And I love your hands, I let them lead me into the cage
                             F                                 Am
So tender but your body was warm, so frail, But your eyes like mine,
              G      Am     F
The color of ice

Instrumental:
   G               Am            F

Chorus:
 B                            C#m       A
You can't keep me down, I am done, I am furious
 B                          C#m           A         G#m
Fear the lioness paint her face black and golden
 B                           C#m         A
You can't keep me down, I am done, I am furious
(you're my weakest part)
 B                          C#m            A        G#m
Fear the lioness paint her face black and golden
(you're my weakest part)
 B                            C#m        A
You can't keep me down, I am done, I am furious
(so strong)
 B                          C#m            A        G#m
Fear the lioness paint her face black and golden
 B                          C#m            A      
You can't keep me down, I am done, I am furious
(I'm so strong, so strong)
 B                          C#m            A        G#m
Fear the lioness paint her face black and golden
