(Capo on 2)
Intro.: |(D) |(D) |(G) |(G) | x 2
(D)Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
The (G)world survives into another day
And I'm (D)thinking about eternity
Some kind of (G)ecstasy got a hold on me
I (D)had another dream about lions at the door
They (G)weren't half as frightening as they were before
But I'm (D)thinking about eternity
Some kind of (G)ecstasy got a hold on me
Solo: |(D) |(D) |(G) / / (A)|(A) |
(D)Walls windows trees, waves coming through
(G)You be in me and I'll be in you
To-(D)gether in eternity
Some kind of (G)ecstasy got a hold on me
(D)Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or (G)down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my (D)mind on eternity
Some kind of (G)ecstasy got a hold on me
(Chorus)
And I'm (A/E)wondering where the lions are (G) (Wondering where the lions are)
I'm (D)wondering where the lions are (Wondering where the lions are)
I'm (A/E)wondering where the lions are (G) (Wondering where the lions are)
I'm (D)wondering where the lions are
(D)Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
(G)Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take
Pointing a (D)finger at eternity
I'm sitting in the (G)middle of this ecstasy
(D)Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
(G)One of these days we're going to sail away
Going to (D)sail into eternity
Some kind of (G)ecstasy got a hold on me
(Chorus)
And I'm (A/E)wondering where the lions are (G) (Wondering where the lions are)
I'm (D)wondering where the lions are (Wondering where the lions are)
I'm (A/E)wondering where the lions are (G) (Wondering where the lions are) (D)
Solo: |(D) |(D) |(G) |(G) | x 4
(Chorus) x 2
And I'm (A/E)wondering where the lions are (G) (Wondering where the lions are)
I'm (D)wondering where the lions are (Wondering where the lions are)
I'm (A/E)wondering where the lions are (G) (Wondering where the lions are)
Hmm, (D)hmm
Outro.: |(D) |(D) |(G) |(G) | x repeat 4 to fade
