Dm              Eb
Hush, my little one
Dm                 Eb
You must be exhausted
 
Dm               Eb
Sleep, my little Kovu
Dm                   Eb
Let your dreams take wing
Dm      A/C#        Dm/C    Bm7(5-)
One day when you're big and strong
Gm       A7    Dm
You will be a king
 
Good night, my little prince
Tomorrow, your training intensifies
 
( Eb  Bb  A  Dm ) 
 
 Dm               A/C#
I've been exiled, persecuted
Dm/C                     G
Left alone with no defense
       G         A               Dm
When I think of what that brute did
  Bb    A      Dm
I get a little tense
      Gm                 F#+
But I dream a dream so pretty
     Bb/F                 C
That I don't feel so depressed
          Am7           Dm
'Cause it soothes my inner kitty
       Bb       A        Dm
And it helps me get some rest
 
D                    Eb
The sound of Simba's dying gasp
D                      Eb
His daughter squealing in my grasp
D      A       Dm       Bb
His lionesses' mournful cry
Gm     A       Dm
That's my lullaby
 
Eb
Now the past I've tried forgetting
       Ebm             Ab
And my foes I could forgive
              Bbm       Ebm
Trouble is, I know it's petty
      B       Bbm      Ebm
But I hate to let them live
 
Abm                   G
So you found yourself somebody
            B/F#           C#
Who'd chase Simba up a tree
        Bbm           Ebm
Oh, the battle may be bloody
         Abm     Bbm       Ebm
But that kind of works for me
 
    Eb        E
The melody of angry growls
  Eb              E
A counterpoint of painful howls
  Eb    Bb    Eb        B
A symphony of death, oh my
Abm    Bb      Ebm
That's my lullaby
 
Ab               B
Scar is gone but Zira's still around
   Ebm
To love this little lad
F#      G#                 B
Till he learns to be a killer
       C#         B   Bb7
With a lust for being bad
 
( Eb  E )
 
Eb               B
Sleep, ya little termite
Ebm                     Em
I mean, precious little thing
Ebm     Bb/D        Ebm/Db  Abm
One day when you're big and strong
Abm     Bb   Ebm
You will be a king
 
    E               B        E
The pounding of the drums of war
    E                B      Em
The thrill of Kovu's mighty roar
    Bm
The joy of vengeance
Ebm  A
Testify
Am             Bm
I can hear the cheering
C            Em
Kovu, what a guy
Am              G
Payback time is nearing
    C
And then our flag will fly
Em                  Bm
Against a blood-red sky
Em    Am        B    Em
Oooh, that's my lullaby
