[F] I'm gonna be a mighty king so when I'm these beware [A#] I've never seen a king of
beasts with white so little [F] hair I'm gonna be the main event like no king was before
[A#] I'm busting up on looking down I'm working on [F] my roar [Gm] that's for a rather [C] uninspiring thing
[A#] Oh I just [C] can't wait to [F] be king
[A#] No more say do this, now will I say that?
No more [Gm] say be there, what are you there for?
No more [C] say stop, won't you know real I'm?
No more [F] say see here, oh I've seen [A#] it all
It's sweeter [Gm] to run [A#] around, oh, [C] it's definitely [A#] out of season
It's sweeter to do [C] it all my [F] way

[F] [B] [G#m] [B] [F#m]
[C#] [F#] think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to [B]-heart
Incarnated by some [F#] little boy
If this is where the monarchy is headed, count me out, [B] out of [C#] service, [D#m] out of [G#m] Africa
[F#] I wouldn't hang about, [B] this child is getting wildly [G#m] out of way
[C#] [B] Oh I just [C#] can't wait [F#] to be [B] king
[C#] [G]
Everybody [C] look left, everybody look right
[D] Everybody look I'm [G] singing in twilight
[C] Let [G] every [C] creature go, the [G] world can [D] see
[C] Let's [G] hear it [C] in the herding [G] of the wee
[Em] It's gonna be [Am] king, sing [C] the [D] spiral of spring
[C] Oh I just [D] can't wait to [G] be king
I'll [C] be that [D] merry [G] king
Oh [C] I just [G] can't wait
To be king
