CAPO 4th FRET
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I'm gonna be a mighty king
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
So enemies beware!
G7G7
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
G+G D MajorD
With quite so little hair
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I'm gonna be the main event
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Like no king was before
G7G7
I'm brushing up on looking down
G+G D MajorD
I'm working on my ROAR
E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
[You've rather a long way to go,]
[young master, if you think...]
G+G
No one saying do this
[Now when I said that, I--]
E minor 7Em7
No one saying be there
[What I meant was...]
A7A7
No one saying stop that
[Look, what you don't realize...]
Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
No one saying see here
[Now see here!]
E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Free to run around all day
[Well, that's definitely out...]
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4
Free to do it all my way!
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I think it's time that you and I
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Arranged a heart to heart
G7G7
Kings don't need advice
G+G D MajorD
From little hornbills for a start
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
If this is where the monarchy is headed
Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Count me out!
G+G G7G7
Out of service, out of Africa
G+G D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I wouldn't hang about... aagh!
E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
This child is getting wildly out of wing
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Standing in the spotlight!

Let every creature go for broke and sing
