The trick here is to finger the bass notes with your thumb.

Chorus:
Putting it together:
Intro:
Verse 1:
Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking 'bout eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
Had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as fright'ning as they were before
But I'm thinking 'bout eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
Verse 2:
Walls windows trees, waves coming through
You be in me and I'll be in you
Together in eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
Chorus:
And I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are, m-hm
wondering where the lions are aah aah
Verse 3:
Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
Thousand year old petroglyphs doing a double take
Pointing a finger at eternity
I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy
Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun
Polished and precise like the brain behind the gun (should be!)
They got me thinking 'bout eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
Chorus:
Verse 4:
Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days they're gonna sail away
Gonna sail into eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
Chorus, repeat, and fade.
