VERSE 1:
G /b C
Was all the summer and all the fall
/b C G
Just tryin' to find my little and all
D
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
G
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
VERSE 2
Was at the spring one summer day
Just when she left me, she gone to stay
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh, I'm sittin' on top of the world
VERSE 3:
And you come runnin', holdin' up your hands
Can't get me a woman quick as you can get a man
And now you're gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

VERSE 4:
Half the days I didn't know your name
Why should I worry or cry in vain?
And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
VERSE 5:
When to the station, down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train, work done got hard
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
VERSE 6:
Those lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should you beg me, or say goodbye?
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world
