Verse 1 (0:45): Listen to the track for the strumming rhythm used for each chord. It's a
style, with three strums of each chord usually. Use barre chords.
Am
Said you never want to hide it
G Am
but that won't stop the lion
Am Am
so you gotta be a lion
G Am Am
standing high and flying.
Pre-chorus:
F Em G Dm
Cos we won't, we won't sit around and make no bread no more,
C G Am Am
Giving life to someone who takes mine.
Chorus (1:12): same patterns as the intro.
Verse 2 (1:37): same as verse 1, but a second guitar can play around with three high chords:
Am7 G Am
e|----12------10----12-------| Am7 is played over the first Am chord in the
B|----13------12----13-------| verse, G over the G, and Am over the second
G|----12------12----14-------| Am chord.
D|----14------12----14-------|
A|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|
Everything from there is repeats, either chorus, verse or pre-chorus. Any little trills
hear are from the high Am chord, so play around with that.
End on the chorus.
