Em Am7 Em Am7

The horns in the fog, could be heard if not seen

Em C D G

Helping to guide, the blind in a dream

G/F# Em Am7 Em Am7

And down by the seashore, a banquet she gave

Em C D Em

She was feeding, and needing, the soul she could save

Bm C Csus C

Mama lion, mama lion, you're starting to sink

Em Bm C Csus C

Beneath the sunshine and the icicles, and the things that you think

There's a hole in my destiny and I'm out on the brink, mama lion

A Em Am7 Em A

Mama lion

Em Am7 Em Am7

She bounces off the boulders, she runs on the rocks

She's taking her time, from her grandfather clocks

And over the border, and down on the land

Em C D Em

She's living in the future, and it lies in her hand
