Tom: A

[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   
It's the wheel of fortune
                  Eb  Eb4 Eb
It's the leap of faith
                  F    F7
It's the band of hope
                   Dm7(b13)
Till we find our place 
G7              Cm7    Db
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
Bb                              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     
It's the wheel of fortune
                 Eb   Eb4 Eb
It's the leap of faith 
         Cm7     F     F7
It's the band of hope
                  Dm7(b13)
Till we find our place 
       G7        Cm7  F#
On the path unwinding
       Bb     F              Bb
In the circle, the circle of life
                  Ab     
It's the wheel of fortune
                  Eb  Eb4 Eb
It's the leap of faith
         Cm7     F
It's the band of hope 
                  Dm7(b13)
Till we find our place 
 G7               Cm7  Db
On the path unwinding
       Bb     F              Eb   Bb
In the circle, the circle of life
       G7        Cm7  Db
On the path unwinding 
       Bb     F              Eb     F# Bb
In the circle, the circle of life
