 Verse 1 
 
 
 G                 Em 
 Riding off to the sun
      C                  Em  
 On a horse with blazing guns
 G                D            
 Mama don't come looking for me
 C               G      
 Spinning out of control
 
 G                   Em   
 This shaky heart is young
          C                Em 
 But it's learning how to love
 G                D            
 Mama don't come looking for me
 C               G      
 Spinning out of control
 C                      
 Spinning out of control
 
 Chorus 
 
 
 C                 G   
 And I want you to know
            Em      
 That I'm a lion man
       C         
 I'm a trying man
                    G  
 And I want you to know
              Em      
 That I'm a a lion man
         C         
 I'm the hired band

 G              Em

 So I'm trying to make a change
