[Intro 1]
Hem hollolo iyo
Hem hollolo iyo
[C][G][D]
Ha[G]kuna [C]matata[G]
Ha[D]kuna matata, hakuna matata

[Verse 1]
When [C]I was a c[G]ool y[D]oung one
When [C]he was a [G]cool [D]young one
I [F]worked in the colony, [G]paying my dues
Ac[D]cepting without question
the pre[A]vailing views
That a [C]young man's life was [G]one long [D]grind
Diggin' [F]holes, standin' [G]guard
'til it crossed [A]my mind

[Pre-chorus 1]
I was [D]wrong, all a[A]long
All that I [C]needed was to have [D]heeded

[Chorus 1]
Hakuna ma[G]tata
What a wonderful [D]phrase, hmm
Hakuna ma[G]tata
[E]Ain't no [A]passing craze
It [F#]means no [Bm]worries [G]for the rest of your [E]days
It's a [D]problem-free phi[A]losophy
Hakuna ma[D]tata, wow

[Interlude 1]

[C][G][D]

[Verse 2]
When [C]I was a[G] sh[D]allow youth
When [C]he was a [G]shallow [D]youth
[F]Cool, calm reflection, I was [G]never that good
I was a [D]pawn in the game,
I saw no [A]trees for the wood
My [C]future stretched behind me,
I was [G]over the [D]hill
I put my [F]best foot forward
but the [G]other one [A]stood still

[Pre-chorus 2]
Take my [D]word, I have [A]heard
All that I [C]needed was to have [D]heeded

[Chorus 2]
Hakuna ma[G]tata
What a wonderful [D]phrase
Hakuna ma[G]tata
[E]Ain't no [A]passing craze
It [F#]means no [Bm]worries [G]for the rest of your [E]days
It's a [D]problem-free phi[A]losophy
Hakuna ma[D]tata
(...hollolo iyo)

[Bridge 1]
(Hem hollolo iyo)
[A]Hakuna matata
Oh, I [D]hope we have conveyed
You don't [A]have to bust a gut in the sun
It's much [D]cooler in the shade
Some [C]say it's just a waste of time
but [G]they don't realize
That [E]view is nothing but a crime,
we are [A]creatures worldly wise

[Chorus 3]
Hakuna ma[G]tata
What a wonderful [D]phrase
Hakuna ma[G]tata
[E]Ain't no [A]passing craze
It [F#]means no [Bm]worries [G]for the rest of your [E]days
It's a [D]problem-free phi[A]losophy
[Repeat and fade]
