Putting it together:
Intro:
D D G6 G6 D D G6 G6
Verse 1:
DSun's up, uh huh, Dlooks okay
The G6world survives into anG6other day
And I'm Dthinking 'bout eternity D
Some kinda G6ecstasy got a G6hold on me D D G6 G6
DHad another dream about Dlions at the door
They G6weren't half as fright'ning as they G6were before
But I'm Dthinking 'bout eternity D
Some kinda G6ecstasy got a G6hold on me D D G6 G6
Verse 2:
DWalls windows trees, Dwaves coming through
G6You be in me and G6I'll be in you
ToDgether in eternity D
Some kinda G6ecstasy got a G6hold on me D D G6 G6
DUp among the firs where it Dsmells so sweet
Or G6down in the valley where the G6river used to be
I got my Dmind on eternity D
Some kinda G6ecstasy got a G6hold on me
Chorus:
And I'm Em7wondering where the lions areEm7
I'm Dadd9wondering where the lions areDadd9

Dadd9wondering where the lions areDadd9 aah Em7 Em7 aah Dadd9 Dadd9
Verse 3:
DHuge orange flying boat Drises off a lake
G6Thousand year old petroglyphs G6doing a double take
Pointing a Dfinger at eternity D
I'm G6sitting in the middle of this G6ecstasy D D G6 G6
DYoung men marching, helmets Dshining in the sun
G6Polished and precise like the G6brain behind the gun (Dshould be!)
They got me Dthinking 'bout eternity
Some kinda G6ecstasy got a G6hold on me D D G6 G6
Chorus:
Verse 4:
DFreighters on the nod on the Dsurface of the bay
G6One of these days they're gonna G6sail away D
Gonna Dsail into eternity
Some kinda G6ecstasy got a G6hold on me D D G6 G6
Chorus, repeat, and fade.
