[Intro] D D G6 G6 D D G6 G6
[Verse 1]
D D Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay G6 G6 The world survives into another day D D And I'm thinking 'bout eternity G6 G6 D D G6 G6 Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me D D Had another dream about lions at the door G6 G6 They weren't half as fright'ning as they were before D D But I'm thinking 'bout eternity G6 G6 D D G6 G6 Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
[Verse 2]
D D Walls windows trees, waves coming through G6 G6 You be in me and I'll be in you D D Together in eternity G6 G6 D D G6 G6 Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me D D Up among the firs where it smells so sweet G6 G6 Or down in the valley where the river used to be D D I got my mind on eternity G6 G6 Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
[Chorus]
Em7 Em7 And I'm wondering where the lions are Dadd9 Dadd9 I'm wondering where the lions are Em7 Em7 I'm wondering where the lions are Dadd9 Dadd9 I'm wondering where the lions are Em7 Em7 I'm wondering where the lions are, m-hm Dadd9 Dadd9 Em7 Em7 Dadd9 Dadd9 wondering where the lions are aah aah
[Verse 3]
D D Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake G6 G6 Thousand year old petroglyphs doing a double take D D Pointing a finger at eternity G6 G6 D D G6 G6 I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy D D Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun G6 G6 D Polished and precise like the brain behind the gun (should be!) D They got me thinking 'bout eternity G6 G6 D D G6 G6 Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
[Chorus]
Em7 Em7 And I'm wondering where the lions are Dadd9 Dadd9 I'm wondering where the lions are Em7 Em7 I'm wondering where the lions are Dadd9 Dadd9 I'm wondering where the lions are Em7 Em7 I'm wondering where the lions are, m-hm Dadd9 Dadd9 Em7 Em7 Dadd9 Dadd9 wondering where the lions are aah aah
[Verse 4]
D D Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay G6 G6 D One of these days they're gonna sail away D Gonna sail into eternity G6 G6 D D G6 G6 Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
[Chorus]
Em7 Em7 And I'm wondering where the lions are Dadd9 Dadd9 I'm wondering where the lions are Em7 Em7 I'm wondering where the lions are Dadd9 Dadd9 I'm wondering where the lions are Em7 Em7 I'm wondering where the lions are, m-hm Dadd9 Dadd9 Em7 Em7 Dadd9 Dadd9 wondering where the lions are aah aah
