Well, you probably are sick to DEATH of hearing this, but this is my first tab, so be nice. I got it out of The Lion King sheet music book (I play the piano as well) so it must be right. This is the one that Jeremy Irons sings, when Scar is getting all stressed at the hyenas, one of my favourite songs in the film! Enough waffle, here are the chords used: Am - x02210 Dm - xx0231 Em - 022000 Cm - xx5543 G - 320003 C - x32010 Bm7flat5 - xx0201 E7 - 020100 C/Bflat - x12010 A7 - x02020 E - 022100 E sus - 022200 F - 133211 (or the way I was taught was xx3211) G7 - 320001 Intro: Am Dm

I ^Amknow that your powers of re^Dmtention Are as ^Emwet as a warthog's back^Amside. But thick as you are pay at^Dmtention My ^Emwords are a matter of ^Ampride.

It's ^Cmclear from your vacant ex^Ampressions, The ^Cmlights are not all on up^Amstairs. But ^Gwe're talking kings, and suc^Ccessions, Bm7flat5 E7 Even YOU can't be caught unawares...

So prep^Amare for the chance of a ^Dmlifetime, Be pre^Gpared for sensational ^Cnews... A ^Emshining new ^Amera is ^Dmtip-toeing ^Gnearer <i&g^Emt;And where ^Amdo we feature?</i> Just ^Dmlisten to ^Gteacher.

I ^Cknow it sounds sordid, C/Bflat But you'll be rewarded When at ^A7last I am given my ^Dmdues, Bm7flat5 E And injustice, deliciously squared, ^EsusBe ^Eprep^Amared! ^F

<i>^E7Yeah, be prepared, heh, heh, ^AmWe'll be prepared, heh.

For what?

^DmFor the death of the king! Why, ^Emis he sick? No fools, we're gunna ^Amkill him...

And Simba too... Great idea, who needs a king?

^DmNo king, no king, la la la la ^Emla la! Idiots! There will^Am be a king! Hey but you sa^Cmid er--

I WILL BE KING!

^AmStick with me, and ^Cmyou'll never go hungry again! ^AmYay, alright! ^GYeah,alright! ^CAlright!

Long live the king, Bm7flat5 E Long live the king! </i>

It's ^Amgreat that we'll soon be connec^Dmted With a ^Emking who'll be all time ^Amadored. Of course, quid pro quo, you're expec^Dmted, To ^Emtake certain duties on ^Amboard...

The ^Cmfuture is littered with ^Amprizes And ^Cmthough I'm the main addres^Amsee, The ^Gpoint that I ^G7must empha^Csize is, Bm7flat5 E YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!

So pre^Ampare for the coup of the ^Dmcentury Be ^Gprepared for the murkiest ^Cscam Me^Emticulous ^Amplanning, ^Dmtenacity ^Gspanning, De^Emcades of de^Amnial Is ^Dmsimply why ^GI'll Be ^Cking undisputed, C/Bflat respected, saluted, And ^A7seen for the wonder I ^Dmam. Bm7flat5 E Yes my teeth and ambitions are bared. ^EsusBe ^EPre^Ampared! Bm7flat5 E Yes our teeth and ambitions are bared, Be pre^Ampared!

Outro (over 'wild laughter') F E Am
