Lion's Mouth Tab uke di Young Rebel Set

Am                               C 
They saddled me with bullets and they handed me a gun
         F                                Am
 and they said my boy you're going off to war.
     Am                               C 
 I said goodbye to my lover as I walked out the door 
         F                                Am
she said I'm too afraid I won't see you no more. 
     Am                               C 
I reassured her with a kiss, and like my aim I did not miss 
         F                                Am
and I hold that memory with me to this day. 
     Am                               C 
I said I'm going across the sea to fight another one of me 
         F                                Am
and I know not of the reason or or what for. 

# Chorus
         F                                Am
So I jumped into the lion's mouth,
         F                                Am
 just to see what life was really all about. 
           F                              C
And if I'm returned to the flames and whatever still remains
         F                                Am
 oh yeah you will see what I was all about. 

     Am                               C 
For years went on by without a bullet in my side
         F                                Am
 and I thanked the Lord that I had survived. 
     Am                               C 
When I walked through that door I caught you naked on the floor 
         F                                Am
and a part of me that survived well it just died. 

# Chorus
         F                                Am
So I put you in the lion's mouth, 
         F                                Am
so you could see what life was all about 
           F                              C
and now you're returned to the flames and whatever ever still remains
         F                                Am
 oh yeah now you'll see what I was all about. 

     Am                               C 
So I climbed up on the stairs above her body where she lay
         F                                Am
 and I tied that noose around my own neck. 
     Am                               C 
And I thank God for all my days and to forgive my wicked ways 
         F                                Am
and let him without sin cast the first stone. 
# Break
     Am                               C 
And with that said I jumped into my souls eternal bed 
         F                                Am
and I let my legs swing beneath my head. 
     Am                               C 
So if you should ever question the reason or what for 
         F                                Am
oh then clearly boy you've never been to war.

# 2xChorus
         F                                Am
So I jumped into the Lion's Mouth.
