The Lion - Benjamin Scheue And Escapist Papers

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

Intro: 
F#

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


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

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

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

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

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

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


End with: F#    B F#


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