First Aid Kit – The Lions Roar (Ukulele)

         Am            C       G          Am
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things

             Am                 C            Am
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook

               Am             C                         G     Am
The fact that they'd been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach

         Am                  C                   Am
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter

           Am            C      G         Am
Don’t you come here and say I didn’t warn you

          Am         C       Am
About the way your world can alter

         Am      C         G            Am
And oh, how you try to command it all, still

        Am                  C                   Am
Every single time it all shifts one way or another

           F         C               G           Am
And I’m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you

         F       C       G        Am
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar

       F         C      G       Am
As we evaded and hollering for you

       F      C     G            Am
And I never really knew, what to do

        Am                C              G          Am
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable

             Am        C         Am
That I could read you just like a book

       Am      C          G             Am
For now I can only guess what’s coming next

   Am             C        Am
By examining your timid smile

         Am           C        G                       Am
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin’ you back around

          F        C              G           Am
And I’m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you

         F       C         G     Am
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar

        F               C     G       Am
Has me singing out and searching for you

       F     C      G            Am
And I never really knew, what to do

Am           G            F                Am
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill

  Am             G           F                     Am
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I’d sing

          F          C        G               Am
And every once in a while I’d sing a song for you

           F               C                 G             Am
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea

          F                                      Am
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me

        F      C         G       Am
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar

    F             C       G       Am
Is something that I have heard before

   F          C         G       Am
a children’s tale, the lonesome wail

Am   C    G           Am
of a liiiiion’s roar
