| Lion in the Shade By Leonard Schneeman Copyright 3/21/98 Intro DFGD Lion in the shade D Out of the heated sun D+3 (F) Looking at the sky D+5 (G) Waiting for no one D Lion that I know Met you long ago Saw that look of calm That I will never know Lion says to me It’s not easy what I do There are many out there Who would cook me into stew Lion in the shade Underneath a tree Looked up and saw The devil stare at me Faster – no verse DFGD The devil said I’ll get you You will be my prey I will not wait till tomorrow You will be mine today I will eat you for dinner I will tear you limb to limb Don’t care what you’ve done Don’t care where you’ve been I am the devil I’m gonna eat you raw I’ve never seen a creature I wanted to eat so bad before BRIDGE C G D And I am a Lion in the Shade C G I’m looking out at things, D and I am not afraid C G D And I am like a Lion in the Shade Now the evening comes D The breezes start to blow D+3 I’m waiting in the twilight D+5 For the Devil’s face to show D And though the Devil’s after me And though I stand alone I am a Lion in the Shade And This I’ve always known FASTER – no verse DFGD The Devil said you’re mine now This tree’s about to fall If you have a last request I suggest you make that call The Devil his eyes were orange They glowed like burning coal Shooting red hot embers Beneath my fearless soul The Devil screamed its over I’ve got you now he said I guess I surprised him When I pushed the tree backwards and it landed on his head CODA – REPEAT BRIDGE And I am lying in the shade Looking out of things And I am not afraid And I am a Lion in the Shade And I am a Lion in the Shade |
