[Verse 1]
[G]I grew up in a military town
Waiting on the sky to fall
Everybody I knew, hangin' around
[D]Wondering what to do
When [G]the draft board calls
Looking back it musta
have been a miracle now
I ever grew up at all
To sing about living in a military town
[D]Waitin' on the sky [G]to fall
[C]Waitin' on the sky to fall, boys
[G]Waitin' on the sky to fall
Chicken Little wasn't makin'
nothing but noise?
[D]Waiting on the sky to [G]fall.[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Spent a lonely lifetime
Rollin' on down the line
Searchin' for the holy grail
Never once crossed my solitary mind
That [D]any such consecrated
[G]quest'd fail
Come up upon an ocean and
much to my chagrin
They told me that ship had [D]sailed
[G]Walkin' on the water,
[D]'cause [G]I never learned to swim
[D]Searchin' for the holy [G]grail
[C]Searchin' for the holy grail, friends
[G]Searchin' for the holy grail
Been across the ocean and now
I'm back again
[D]Searchin' for the holy grail.

[Verse 3]
[G]Whoop
Been around [D]enough to
know a [G]little bit now
An[D]d I [G]am sitting on top of
[D]the world
[G]Wangin' on a guitar while
the sun goes down
And [D]singin' a song about
a [G]redheaded [D]girl
Was [G]a time I would have said
them days was [D]gone
But, I'm [G]givin' it another [D]whirl
[G]Didn't know that I was
gonna live this long
[D]Now, I'm sittin' on top of the [G]world
[D]Sittin[C]' on top of the world, y'all
Sit[G]ting on top of the world
Eyes wide open till the
messenger call[D]s

[Outro 1]
Sittin' on top of the world!
