  Verse 1:

  

  D                 D

  Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay

      G6                    G6

  The world survives into another day

          D                       D

  And I'm thinking 'bout eternity

             G6            G6            D  D  G6  G6

  Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me

  D                       D

  Had another dream about lions at the door

       G6                                  G6

  They weren't half as fright'ning as they were before

          D                       D

  But I'm thinking 'bout eternity

             G6            G6            D  D  G6  G6

  Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me

  

  

  Verse 2:

  

  D                    D

  Walls windows trees, waves coming through

  G6               G6

  You be in me and I'll be in you

    D                   D

  Together in eternity

             G6            G6            D  D  G6  G6

  Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me

  D                          D

  Up among the firs where it smells so sweet

     G6                           G6

  Or down in the valley where the river used to be

           D                 D

  I got my mind on eternity

             G6            G6

  Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me

  

  

  Chorus:

  

          Em7                          Em7

  And I'm wondering where the lions are

      Dadd9                        Dadd9

  I'm wondering where the lions are

      Em7                          Em7

  I'm wondering where the lions are

      Dadd9                        Dadd9

  I'm wondering where the lions are

      Em7                          Em7

  I'm wondering where the lions are,   m-hm

  Dadd9                        Dadd9       Em7 Em7     Dadd9 Dadd9

  wondering where the lions are       aah          aah

  

  

  Verse 3:

  

  D                       D

  Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake

  G6                            G6

  Thousand year old petroglyphs doing a double take

             D                   D

  Pointing a finger at eternity

      G6                            G6       D  D  G6  G6

  I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy

  D                           D

  Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun

  G6                            G6                    D        

  Polished and precise like the brain behind the gun (should be!)

              D

  They got me thinking 'bout eternity

             G6            G6          D  D  G6  G6

  Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me

  

  

  Chorus:

  

  

  Verse 4:

  

  D                            D

  Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay

  G6                              G6         D

  One of these days they're gonna sail away

        D

  Gonna sail into eternity

             G6            G6          D  D  G6  G6

  Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me

  

  

  Chorus, repeat, and fade.
