The Lion - Benjamin Scheue And Escapist Papers
Misc Unsigned Bands
Alright, I'm not sure exactly what tuning the original is in, the one video of them playing I could
find he had a capo on the 4th fret and was using some odd shapes, so these are just the chords as best
I could decipher them, you can place a capo where ever you want to get the most comfortable shapes

When my mother still was young, her father died of too much wine
His parents both were hunted in the jungle.
She moved into the city,in her twenties met my father
He courted her, the fell in love, and married.
On a Tuesday April morning, his brilliant brain stopped working
My brothers, mom, and I all sat 'round crying.
When it occurred to me that I'd do well to lead our little pride,
And so I tried to find my roar and be a Lion.

I always show my teeth when I am smiling,
I only say I Love You when I'm sure.
Inside my gentle paws I have some devastating flaws,
and I'm learning what it means to really roar.

To protect them from the storm, keep them safe and keep them warm
Music was the fire that I shared.
Taught them when in fear to be open and sincere
Sometimes being brave is being scared.
At the risk of getting burned, I tried to guide the pride to learn
To find their own ideas of fire and fan the flames.
With other stuff to do and see they left the music all to me
The things that made us lions were not the same.

I always show my teeth when I am smiling,
I only say I Love You when I'm sure.
Inside my gentle paws I have some devastating flaws,
and I'm learning what it means to really roar.

When all the cubs grew up and we were spread around the Earth
I found one day that I'd grown very sick.
My bones were filled with holes, my belly hung in rolls
And I was bald where once my mane was thick.
I slept and was ashamed, I was quiet, I was tamed
Then they came and stayed and helped me heal inside.
Though I had to learn once more to be a lion without a roar
It's not the roar that makes the lion, it's the pride.

I always show my teeth when I am smiling,
I only say I Love You when I'm sure.
Inside my gentle paws I have some devastating flaws,
and I'm learning what it means to really roar.

I always show my teeth when I am smiling,
I only say I Love You when I'm sure.
Inside my gentle paws I have some devastating flaws,
and I'm learning what it means to really roar.

End with:      

Again, these chords may not be exact, this is just something I came up with that sounds pretty good.
