WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Lion Sleeps Tonight Tabs – Harry Belafonte | Version #1
                
                
            
The intro riff is pretty easy.  It's based off of a minor pentanonic scale.  Really no shocker here, just 
fun to play.
 Feel free to whistle if it floats your boat.

That's it i believe..  I have a tabbed verson of the breakdown part in the song..  if you're so inclined 
Be sure to look for the heavy version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"..  coming to a Guitar Tab Universe near you
