Hey all. This is my first tab, so please e-mail me with questions/suggestions I suggest using bar chords to
facilitate smoother transitions, rather than open chords.

Verse 1:
 A minorAm              FF
I used to friend with trees, I have a call
 A minorAm            FF
I close my eyes and wait for the echo
 DmDm              A minorAm
And you came in a hurricane, I watched you in the dark
 DmDm             A minorAm
Never seen nothing like it, no one has matched the spark

Verse 2:
 A minorAm          FF
I used to follow you, follow you for days
 A minorAm          FF
I slept beside you, just shadows away
 DmDm            A minorAm
I watched you by the fire, your hands was all aglow
 DmDm             A minorAm
Under the spell of a circle, I let my face show

Pre Chorus:
 A minorAm
Oh my heart is like an eagle, I love to fall from the sky
        FF                A minorAm
It's so beautiful, I see right through the water's edge

And I love your hands, I let them lead me into the cage
               FF                 A minorAm
So tender but your body was warm, so frail, But your eyes like mine,
       G+G   A minorAm   FF
The color of ice

Instrumental:
  G+G        A minorAm      FF

You can't keep me down, I am done, I am furious

Fear the lioness paint her face black and golden

You can't keep me down, I am done, I am furious
(you're my weakest part)

You can't keep me down, I am done, I am furious
(so strong)

Fear the lioness paint her face black and golden
 BB             C# minorC#m      A augmentedA
You can't keep me down, I am done, I am furious
(I'm so strong, so strong)
 BB             C# minorC#m      A augmentedA    G# minorG#m
Fear the lioness paint her face black and golden
