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