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.
