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