Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'm  gonna be a mighty king
So  enemies beware!
 Well, I've never  seen a king of beasts
 With quite  so little hair
I'm  gonna be the main  event
Like  no king was before
 I'm brushing  up on looking down
 I'm working  on my ROAR
 Thus far,  a rather uninspiring thing
 Oh, I just  can't wait  to be king!
 No one saying do  this
 No one saying be  there
 No one saying stop  that
 No one saying see  here
Free  to run around  all day
Free  to do it all  my way!
I  think it's time that you  and I
Arranged  a heart to heart
Kings  don't need advice
 From little hornbills  for a start
If  this is where the monarchy  is headed
Count  me out!
 Out of service,  out of Africa
 I wouldn't  hang about... aagh!
This  child is getting wildly  out of wing
 Oh, I just  can't wait  to be king!
 D -- Dsus4 -- D -- Dsus4 -- D
 D -- Dsus4 -- D -- Dsus4
 Everybody look  left
 Everybody look  right
 Everywhere you look  I'm
 Standing in the spotlight!
Let  every creature go  for broke and sing
Let's  hear it in the herd  and on the wing
It's  gonna be King Simba's  finest fling
Oh  I just can't wait  to be king!
Oh  I just can't wait  to be king!
Oh  I just can't waaaaaait  ... to be king!
