Please someone help me! I really really want to learn 'Just can't wait to be king' and 'In the jungle' especially the fiddly bits.
Tab would be brilliant!
thanks
 
I have gone into seclusion.... well at work that is. I have a secret passion for Disney... probably equal with the ukulele. I will try and post some as soon as I am able to. :)
 
Haven't been meaning to leave you hanging on Just can't wait to be king. I know I can tab or chord it. I work till midnight and will see if I can get the posted later tonight.
 
Just got done and my eyes are bloodshot. Ha ha ha

[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
                    C/G   G
[Zazu: (Speaking)] You've rather a long way to go, 
young master, if you think...
                       C
[Simba:] No one saying do this
[Zazu:] Now when I said that, I--
                      Am
[Nala:] No one saying be there
[Zazu:] What I meant was...
                        D/F#
[Simba:] No one saying stop that
               D
[Zazu:] Look, what you don't realize...
                                G
[Simba and Nala:] No one saying see here
[Zazu:] Now see here!

[Simba:] Free to do it all my way!
[Zazu:] I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
           C
[Simba:] Kings don't need advice
            G
From little hornbills for a start
[Zazu:] If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!

Out of service, out of Africa

Oh I just can't waait ... to be king!

It's definatly the rhythm. I did find a sweet version on youtube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbfsciEwI3U.
 
I thought I typed this up and posted it already but .... nothing showed up.

I am not insane, I promise.

I hope I'm doing this right, if not, be sure to berate me soundly.

The "decoy" scene uses a short variation on Hawaiian War Chant:

http://www.seattleukulele.org/members/songpdfs/HawaiianWarChant.pdf

Slightly related but not Lion King: The Adventurers Club had a nightly live "Polynesian War Chant" performance that you can find on You Tube with various maids singing. It was a big highlight of our trips to Pleasure Island before it's untimely demise. One of the many reasons I have wanted a uke for years. It's all of the little things isn't it?

I'm a disney addict and I need help.

Kungaloosh!
 
I think I've made a pretty good intro tell me what you think

well I've been testing here and there and I think this is as close as I could find

Code:
Tunning : G# C# F A# or capo 1st fret
 
Intro:

A# |--------8--8--8p5---------|---------8--8--8h10----------|---------8--8--8p5--------|---------8--8--8h10---------|
F  |----5---------------6h8---|----5----------------10p8----|----5---------------6h8---|----5----------------10p8---|
C# |--5-----------------------|--5--------------------------|--5-----------------------|--5-------------------------|
G# |------5-------------------|------5----------------------|------5-------------------|------5---------------------|

and the chords from there on goes as written here:

Hi

How do you play the slash chords here? Specifically, C/G, D/G, D/F#, G/B and Ab/C?

My kids keeping asking me to learn this for them. :)

Cheers
