[Intro] Bb  Gm  Cm7  F

Bb                             Cm7
From the day we arrive on the planet
F/A                          Bb
And blinking, step into the sun
Gm7                              Cm7
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
        Ab                  F
More to do than can ever be done
Bb                 Cm7
Some say eat or be eaten
F/A                    Bb
Some say live and let live
Gm7                         Cm7
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
            Ab                       F
You should never take more than you give
                 Bb    Bb4 Bb
In the circle of life
                  Ab/Bb
It's the wheel of fortune
                  Eb  Eb4 Eb
It's the leap of faith
                  F/Eb  F7/Eb
It's the band of hope
                   Bb/D
Till we find our place
G7              Cm7    F#
On the path unwinding
        Bb    F               Eb    Bb
In the circle, the circle of life
Bb                     Cm7
Some of us fall by the wayside
F/A                        Bb
And some of soar to the stars
Gm7                           Cm7
And some of us sail through our troubles
     Ab                         F
And some have to live with the scars
Bb                              Cm7
There's far too much to take in here
F/A                             Bb
More to find than can ever be found
Gm                                    Cm7
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Ab                                    F
Keeps great and small on the endless round
                 Bb  Bb4 Bb
In the circle of life
                  Ab/Bb
It's the wheel of fortune
                 Eb   Eb4 Eb
It's the leap of faith
         Cm7/Eb    F/Eb     F7/Eb
It's the band of hope
                  Bb/D
Till we find our place
       G7        Cm7  F#
On the path unwinding
       Bb     F              Bb
In the circle, the circle of life
