Iron & Wine - Lion's Mane Mapped by: C. MacInnis This is my first Iron & Wine tab, and I am proud to submit this correct version of the beautiful opening track from "The Creek Drank the Cradle". I wish I could say that I was entirely responsible for this tab and how correct it is, but I am deeply indebted to "aarvid" and the other fine folks over at have a forum of great contributors who originally posted a barebones draft of this tab. I have added the lyrics and mapped how the riffs fit into the structure of the song. You should be able to pick up on it rather quickly with a bit of practice. Support Samuel Beam. See Iron & Wine in concert and purchase his CDs. Truly a gem of a musician. Enjoy!
