in A
chords from Hal Leanard Blues Guitar Method
Intro is the melody of the last line together with a turn around.
Was all the Asummer, and all the A7fall,
Just trying to D7find my little all in Dm7all,
But now she's A7gone, I don't E7worry,
I'm A7sitting on D7top of the Aworld. E7
Was at the spring, one summer day,
Just when she left me, she's going to stay,
But now she's gone, I don't worry,
I'm sitting on top of the world.
An' you come here runnin', holdin' up your hand,
Can't get me a woman, who didn't get her man,
But now she's gone, I don't worry,
I'm sitting on top of the world.
Instrumental Break
It have been days, I didn't know your name,
Why should I worry and prayer in vain,
But now she's gone, I don't worry,
I'm sitting on top of the world.
Going to the station, down in the yard,
Gonna get me a freight train, worked done got hard,
But now she's gone, I don't worry,
I'm sitting on top of the world.
The lonesome days, they have gone by,
Why should you beg me and say goodbye,
But now she's gone, I don't worry,
I'm sitting on top of the world .
