 Johnny Lobo's warrior heart was burnished in the embers
                         Chord diagramD MajorD
And the battle's just begun


CHORUS


outro: Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramG+G


I´ve tried to place the chords most accurate to the precisely moment when singing lyrics.
It means that every single "space" corresponds to the beating and strumming pattern.

So, as an example, when singing the part:

"D                                    Chord diagramG+G   "
  Rooted down with lessons that he carried ...

Guitar is strumming the chord right before starting singin´, therefore space.

And, therefore also, no space left when:

"A                                    D"
 Somewhere in the land of Sittin' Bull  ...

But every ear, brain and personality chooses the sounds differently. So be free to sing the song
