[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm on my way
from misery to happiness today
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
[D]I'm on my way
from misery to happiness today
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
[G]I'm on my way
to [C]what I want from this world
[G]And years from now
you'll [C]make it to the next world
[G]And everything that you[C] receive up yonder
[G]Is what you gave to me [D]the day I wandered

[Verse 2]
[G]I took a right,
I took a right turning yesterday
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
[D]I took a right,
I took a right turning yesterday
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[G]I took the road
that [C]brought me to your home town
[G]I took the bus
to [C]streets that I could walk down
[G]I walked the streets
to [C]find the one I'd looked for
[G]I climbed the stair
that [D]led me to your front door

[Chorus 1]
[C]And now that I d[D]on't want for anyt[G]hing
[C]I'd have Al Jol[D]son sing
"I'm [G]sitting on top of the [D]world"

[Verse 3]
[G]I'll do my best,
I'll do my best to do the best I can
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
[D]I'll do my best,
I'll do my best to do the best I can
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
[G]To keep my feet,
from [C]jumping from the ground, dear
[G]To keep my heart,
from [C]jumping through my mouth, dear
[G]To keep the past,
the [C]past and not the present
[G]To try and learn
when [D]you teach me a lesson

[Chorus 2]
[C]And now that I d[D]on't want for anyt[G]hing
[C]I'd have Al Jol[D]son sing
"I'm [G]sitting on top of the [D]world"

[Verse 4]
[G]I'm on my way
from misery to happiness today
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
Ah-hah (ah-hah)
[D]I'm on my way
from misery to happiness today
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[G]I'm on my way
to [C]what I want from this world
[G]And years from now
you'll [C]make it to the next world
[G]And everything that you[C] receive up yonder
[G]Is what you gave to me [C]the day I wandered

[Verse 5]
[G]I'm on my way
to [C]what I want from this world
[G]And years from now
you'll [C]make it to the next world
[G]And everything that you[C] receive up yonder
[G]Is what you gave to me [D]the day I wandered

[Outro 1]
[G]I'm on my way, I'm on my way
[G]I'm on my way, I'm on my way
[Repeat and fade]
