E              E7
One summer day, she went away
              A                     Am7
She gone and left me, she gone to stay
               E  C#m           F#m   B7
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
             A7         B7         E
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world

( A7  E7  B7 )

                E                      E7
Worked all the summer, worked all the fall
                   A                     A7
I Had to take my Christmas, in my overalls
               E                 B7
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
             A7         B7         E
Because I'm Sittin' on top of the world

( A7  E7  B7 )

                    E          
Goin' down to the freight yard
                     E7
Catch me a freight train
                      A                   Am7
I'm gonna leave this town, work done got hard
               E  C#m           F#m   B7
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
             A          B7         E
Because I'm Sittin' on top of the world
