Such a fun tune to play (mainly the chorus!) – “I Wanna Be Like You” is the icon tune from Disney’s animated film “The Jungle Book”.
The letter note below look more intense than they are, that’s just all the trilly/warbly/”oooh” bits – it should all make sense as you play it through 🙂
Let me know how you get on, i’ve really enjoyed working this one out 😀
