| I took road and said goodbye | F | |
| friends go one way I went mine | F Eb F | |
| I got lost then very quickly | F | |
| started shaking feeling sickly | Eb F |
| in the lion lair, in the lion lair | Bb Dm | |
| watch your own self and take care | Eb Bb | |
| I am outside, almost one with | Bb F | |
| all the life in the lion lair | Eb Bb |
| all alone and all around | F | |
| canyon clept above the ground | F Eb F | |
| there was treeless flat around me | F | |
| and no evil came and found me | F Eb F |
| in the lion lair, in the lion lair | Bb Dm | |
| watch your own self and take care | Eb Bb | |
| I am outside, almost one with | Bb F | |
| all the life in the lion lair | Eb Bb |
| stars came out in midday burning | C | |
| earth grumbled stones were churning | C Bb F C | |
| colors red were rocks and sky | C | |
| and powered glint infused the eye | C Bb F C | |
| had himself in no time at all | Dm | |
| hand on shaft and gripped his ball | C | |
| wished your mouth would come down on it | Bb | |
| feel your lips sink warm upon it | Bb C |
| in the lion lair, in the lion lair | Bb Dm | |
| watch your own self and take care | Eb Bb | |
| I am outside, almost one with | Bb F | |
| all the life in the lion lair | Eb Bb |
| beast and bird they called me kin | F | |
| bathed me and they tucked me in | F Eb F | |
| laid down on the forest ground | F | |
| stars above they shone on down | F Eb F |
| in the lion lair, in the lion lair | Bb Dm | |
| watch your own self and take care | Eb Bb | |
| I am outside, almost one with | Bb F | |
| all the life in the lion lair | Eb Bb |
