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#When my mother still was young, her father dBied of too much wF#ine
His pBarents both were F#hunted in the jDbungle.
She F#moved into the city,in her tBwenties met my F#father
He cBourted her, the fF#ell in love, and mG#arried.
On a TF#uesday April morning, his bBrilliant brain stopped wF#orking
My bBrothers, mom, and F#I all sat 'round Ebmcrying.
When it Boccurred to me that I'd do well to lF#ead our little pride,
And so I tDbried to find my roar and be a F#Lion. B F#
I Balways show my teeth when I am sF#miling,
I oDbnly say I Love You when I'm sF#ure. F# G#
IBnside my gentle paws I have some dF#evastating flaws,
and I'm lDbearning what it means to really F#roar. B F#
F#To protect them from the storm, keep them Bsafe and keep them F#warm
BMusic was the F#fire that I sDbhared.
TF#aught them when in fear to be Bopen and sinF#cere
SBometimes being bF#rave is being G#scared.
At the rF#isk of getting burned, I tried to Bguide the pride to F#learn
To find their Bown ideas of fiF#re and fan the fEbmlames.
With other Bstuff to do and see they left the F#music all to me
The tDbhings that made us lions were not the F#same. B F#
I Balways show my teeth when I am sF#miling,
I oDbnly say I Love You when I'm sF#ure. F# G#
IBnside my gentle paws I have some dF#evastating flaws,
and I'm lDbearning what it means to really F#roar. B F#
When F#all the cubs grew up and we were Bspread around the F#Earth
I foBund one day that F#I'd grown very Dbsick.
My F#bones were filled with holes, my Bbelly hung in rF#olls
And BI was bald where F#once my mane was G#thick.
I F#slept and was ashamed, I was Bquiet, I was F#tamed
Then they Bcame and stayed and F#helped me heal iEbmnside.
Though I Bhad to learn once more to be a F#lion without a roar
It's not the Dbroar that makes the lion, it's the F#pride.
I Balways show my teeth when I am sF#miling,
I oDbnly say I Love You when I'm sF#ure. F# G#
IBnside my gentle paws I have some dF#evastating flaws,
and I'm lDbearning what it means to really F#roar. B F#
I Balways show my teeth when I am sF#miling,
I oDbnly say I Love You when I'm sF#ure. F# G#
IBnside my gentle paws I have some dF#evastating flaws,
and I'm lDbearning what it means to really F#roar. B F#
End with: F# B F#
Again, these chords may not be exact, this is just something I came up with that sounds pretty good.
