[Verse 1]
         G                      Am
From the day we arrive on the planet
      D                      G
And blinking, step into the sun
         Em                       Am
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
         F                   D
More to do than can ever be done

G                   Am
Some say eat or be eaten
        D              G 
Some say live and let live
    Em                     Am
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
          F                          D
You should never take more than you give

 
[Chorus]
                 G
In the circle of life
                   F
It's the wheel of fortune
                  C
It's the leap of faith
                 D
It's the band of hope
                 G/B        E7
Till we find our place
              Am     Fm
On the path unwinding
         G   D                   C   G
In the cir - cle, the circle of li - fe


[Verse 2]
  G                         Am
Some of us fall by the wayside
     D                       G
And some of us soar to the stars
     Em                           Am
And some of us sail through our troubles
      F                          D 
And some have to live with the scars
         G                       Am
There's far too much to take in here
         D                      G
More to find than can ever be found
         Em                           Am
But the Sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
                  F                    D
Keeps great and small on the endless round


[Chorus]
                 G
In the circle of life
                   F
It's the wheel of fortune
                  C
It's the leap of faith
                 D
It's the band of hope
                 G/B       E7
Till we find our place
              Am     Fm
On the path unwinding
         G   D                   C   G
In the cir - cle, the circle of li - fe
                   F
It's the wheel of fortune
                  C
It's the leap of faith
                 D
It's the band of hope
                 G         E7
Till we find our place
              Am     Fm
On the path unwinding
         G   D                   C   G
In the cir - cle, the circle of li - fe
