Intro

C♯m E A C♯m - Lead guitar plays Theme

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

They sC♯maddled me with bullets and they haEnded me a gun

and they sAaid my boy you're going off to C♯mwar.

I said goodbC♯mye to my lover as I waElked out the door

she said I'm tAoo afraid I won't see you no mC♯more.

1.Strophe Part B (all):

I reasC♯msured her with a kiss, and like my aEim I did not miss

and I hAold that memory with me to this dC♯may.

I said I'm gC♯moing across the sea to fight anoEther one of me

and I knAow not of the reason or or what fC♯mor.

Ref.

So I jAumped into the lion's mouC♯mth,

just to sAee what life was really all abC♯mout.

And if I'm retAurned to the flames and whatEever still remains

oh yeah yAou will see what I was all aboC♯mut.

2.Strophe

For yC♯mears went on by without a buEllet in my side

and I thAanked the Lord that I had survC♯mived.

When I wC♯malked through that door I caught you naEked on the floor

and a pAart of me that survived well it just dC♯mied.

Ref.

So I pAut you in the lion's moC♯muth,

so yAou could see what life was all abC♯mout

and now you're rAeturned to the flames and whatEever ever still remains

oh yeah nAow you'll see what I was all abC♯mout.

3.Strophe: Only Drums and Bass and Handklapp (2-1-2-1)

So I clC♯mimbed up on the stairs above her boEdy where she lay

and I tAied that noose around my own nC♯meck.

And I thank GC♯mod for all my days and to forgiEve my wicked ways

and let hAim without sin cast the first stC♯mone.

Break

And wiC♯mth that said I jumped into my soEuls eternal bed

and I lAet my legs swing beneath my hC♯mead.

So if yC♯mou should ever question the reEason or what for

oh then clAearly boy you've never been to wC♯mar.

Ref.

So I jAumped into the lion's moC♯muth,

just to sAee what life was really all abC♯mout.

And when I retAurned in the flames and whatEever still remains

oh yeah yAou will see what I was all aboC♯mut.

So I juAmped into the lion's moC♯muth,

just to sAee what life was really all abC♯mout.

And when I retAurned in the flames and whatEever still remains

oh yeah yAou will see what I was all aboC♯mut.
