Just listen to the song for the strumming pattern.  It's pretty easy to pick up.

Em              G
The king of the jungle
Am                C   B
Was asleep in his car
Em                            G
When your chances fall in your lap like that
       Am                       C                B
You've gotta recognize them for what they really are
Em        G
Nobody in this house
Am                     C    B
Wants to own up to the truth
Em                     G
I crawl in shotgun and reach into his mouth
Am                   C          B
And grab hold of one long sharp tooth
         Em      G      Am
And hold on
         C    B
For dear life
       Em    G     Am     C    B
I hold on

Em                G
Well of course he wakes up
Am               C    B
His paw hits the horn
Em           G
I am gonna regret
Am  C              B
The day that I was born
         Em                    G
And then mom rushes out to the driveway
Am        C   B
My sister too
Em         G
Everyone's screaming
    Am           C   B
I am dreaming of you
       Em    G    Am
I hold on
         C    B
For dear life
       Em     G    Am    C   B
I hold on


Am              Em
And my arms get sore
Am                    Em
And my palms start to sweat
Am                 Em
And the tears roll down my face
Am                         B
Till my cheeks are hot and red and soaking wet


Em          G
In come the cops
Am                 C     B
They blowtorch the doors
Em      G
I start wailing
Am       C     B
The lion roars
Em                     G
There's no good way to end this
Am         C   B
Anyone can see
Em                     G
There's just great big you
Am             C  B
And little old me
            Em    G   Am
And we hold on
         C     B
For dear life
        Em     G     Am
We hold on
        C   B
We hold on

Em    G    Am 
C    B
