How to play Lions in a Cage
Start with the chords. Lions in a Cage uses 4 different chords; D is held longest — about 50% of the song — so it is the one to make comfortable first. 1 of them needs a barre (D#). If barres are new to you, read the barre guide.
Then the changes. The change that repeats most is C → D (28 times), followed by D → C (25 times). Drill that pair on its own before the song: the chords change roughly every 3.2 seconds (19 changes per minute), so each change needs to be ready in plenty of time — this is a relaxed song. See faster chord changes.
Strumming. At 99 BPM this is a medium song; a good starting pattern is D . D U . U D U (classic pop). Play along with the song and land your downstrokes on the kick drum. More in strumming patterns.
Practise with the page. Turn on lyric mode and loop the chorus; play the loop at a slower tempo until it is clean, then at full speed. The song is in D; if it sits wrong for your voice, use the transpose buttons — see transposing.
