Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Sun's up, mmm hmm, looks okay
The [G]world survives into another day
And I'm [D]thinking about eternity
Some kind of [G]ecstasy got a hold on me
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
I [D]had another dream about lions at the door
They [G]weren't half as frightening
as they were before
But I'm [D]thinking 'bout eternity
Some kind of [G]ecstasy got a hold on me
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Walls windows trees, waves coming through
[G]You be in me and I'll be in you
To[D]gether in eternity
Some kind of [G]ecstasy got a hold on [D]me[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or [G]down in the valley
where the river used to be
I got my [D]mind on eternity
Some kind of [G]ecstasy got a hold on me

[Chorus 1]
And I'm [Em]wondering where the lions are
(Wondering where the lions...)
I'm [D]wondering where the lions are
(Wondering where the lions...)
And I'm [Em]wondering where the lions are, uh huh
I'm [D]wondering where the lions are
(Wondering where the lions...)
I'm [Em]wondering where the lions are
Mmm, [D]wondering where the lions are
Uh [Em]huh
Uh [D]huh

[Verse 5]
[D]Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
[G]Thousand-year-old petroglyphs
doing a double take
Pointing a [D]finger at eternity
I'm sitting [G]in the middle of this ecstasy
[D][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]Young men marching,
helmets shining in the sun
[G]Polished and precise
like the brain behind the gun
[D](Should be!)
They got me thinking about eternity
But some kind of [G]ecstasy got a hold [D]on me
[G]

[Chorus 2]
And I'm [Em]wondering where the lions are
(Wondering where the lions...)
I'm [D]wondering where the lions are
(Wondering where the lions...)
I'm [Em]wondering where the lions are, uh huh
I'm [D]wondering where the lions are
Mmm, [Em]wondering where the lions are
(Wondering where the lions...)
I'm [D]wondering where the lions are
Uh [Em]huh
Uh [D]huh

[Verse 7]
[D]Freighters on the nod
on the surface of the bay
[G]One of these days we're gonna sail away
[D]Gonna sail into eternity
[G]Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on [D]me[G]

[Chorus 3]
And I'm [Em]wondering where the lions are
(Wondering where the lions...)
I'm [D]wondering where the lions are
(Wondering where the lions...)
I'm [Em]wondering where the lions are
(Wondering where the lions...)
I'm [D]wondering where the lions are
Oh, [Em]wondering where the lions are
Ooh, I'm [D]wondering where the lions are
Oh, [Em]wondering where the lions are
Uh huh, uh [D]huh

[Outro 1]
Uh huh, uh huh
[Em](Wondering where the lions are)
[D](Wondering where the lions are)
[Em](Wondering where the lions are)
[D](Wondering where the lions are)
[Fade Out]
