Introduction: Em    G    D    Em    

                        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            DEm  
And i never really knew, what to do
 Em    G    D    Em)  
                     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                    DEm  
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              DEm  
And i never really knew, what to do
 Em    G    D    Em)  
 Em    G    D    Em)  
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
                     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
