Intro: C#C# E MajorE A augmentedA C#C# - Lead guitar plays Theme

1.Strophe Part A: (only drums, bass and accoustic guitar)

   C#C#                E MajorE
They saddled me with bullets and they handed me a gun
     A augmentedA               C#C#
and they said my boy you're going off to war.
      C#C#          E MajorE
I said goodbye to my lover as I walked out the door
       A augmentedA               C#C#
she said I'm too afraid I won't see you no more.

1.Strophe Part BB (all):
   C#C#                 E MajorE
I reassured her with a kiss, and like my aim I did not miss
    A augmentedA                C#C#
and I hold that memory with me to this day.
      C#C#               E MajorE
I said I'm going across the sea to fight another one of me
    A augmentedA                C#C#
and I know not of the reason or or what for.

Ref.
   A augmentedA            C#C#
So I jumped into the lion's mouth,
     A augmentedA               C#C#
just to see what life was really all about.
       A augmentedA              E MajorE
And if I'm returned to the flames and whatever still remains
     A augmentedA               C#C#
oh yeah you will see what I was all about.

2.Strophe
   C#C#             E MajorE
For years went on by without a bullet in my side
    A augmentedA               C#C#
and I thanked the Lord that I had survived.
    C#C#                  E MajorE
When I walked through that door I caught you naked on the floor
    A augmentedA                   C#C#
and a part of me that survived well it just died.

Ref.
   A augmentedA           C#C#
So I put you in the lion's mouth,
  A augmentedA                C#C#
so you could see what life was all about
        A augmentedA               E MajorE
and now you're returned to the flames and whatever ever still remains
     A augmentedA               C#C#
oh yeah now you'll see what I was all about.

3.Strophe: Only Drums and Bass and Handklapp (2-1-2-1)
    C#C#                E MajorE
So I climbed up on the stairs above her body where she lay
    A augmentedA               C#C#
and I tied that noose around my own neck.
       C#C#              E MajorE
And I thank God for all my days and to forgive my wicked ways
     A augmentedA                C#C#
and let him without sin cast the first stone.

Break

   C#C#               E MajorE
And with that said I jumped into my souls eternal bed
    A augmentedA              C#C#
and I let my legs swing beneath my head.
    C#C#              E MajorE
So if you should ever question the reason or what for
     A augmentedA                C#C#
oh then clearly boy you've never been to war.

Ref.
   A augmentedA            C#C#
So I jumped into the lion's mouth,
     A augmentedA               C#C#
just to see what life was really all about.
       A augmentedA              E MajorE
And when I returned in the flames and whatever still remains
     A augmentedA               C#C#
oh yeah you will see what I was all about.

    A augmentedA (break)       C#C#
So I jumped into the lion's mouth,
     A augmentedA               C#C#
just to see what life was really all about.
       A augmentedA              E MajorE
And when I returned in the flames and whatever still remains
     A augmentedA               C#C#
oh yeah you will see what I was all about.

End:
    A augmentedA (break)       C#C#
So I jumped into the lions mouth
