Firstly an enormous debt is owed to the anonymous person who posted the tab on which 
this is based – you can see this tab at:
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/d/decemberists/like_a_lion_crd.htm
I've changed enough of the words and chords that it seemed worth posting this

Secondly, any changes I've made are only made through listening extra carefully to the 
track – thus it's entirely possible they're wrong! 'Bone' might be 'Born', but 'Bone' 
seemed more Decemberistsy, Likewise 'Worm' could be 'Whirl' or 'World'... at some 
point I just made a decision.

Apologies in advance if the naming of my chords is incorrect, I'm relying on a reverse 
chord-finder I found on the internet. If someone with more musical nous than I can 
provide corrections to this or other aspects of the song, I'm happy to amend this.
