G F Well, it's been a long day, but I don't like to moan G The middle of summer and I'm chilled to the bone F Holes in my shoes where the rain comes in G I'm sitting on top of the world C F Walking in the shadows of empty office blocks I was talking to a stranger, G saying he's on the rocks F Down on the pavement, living in a box G I'm sitting on top of the world Chorus: C G F Oh no, can't anybody see? C F It's been a bad day and I want a little peace Oh no, won't you please help me? I want to lie down, but there's no beds free Down on the corner, there's starry eyed preachers Rattling cans and pimping Jesus There's madmen on boxes making speeches I'm sitting on top of the world You can't sit in the sunshine or go out after dark Dogs on the loose, acting like sharks Psychos on the streets burning winos in the park I'm sitting on top of the world Chorus: Oh no, I wish I was gone I want to get going before too long Oh no, I want to leave town I can't drive my car, 'cause they put it in the pound The masters of industry are killing for oil There's poison in the air and the water and the soil We're all turning mutant, they're counting up their spoils I'm sitting on top of the world I turn on the TV and it makes me want to cry There's killing and there's torture, destruction and lies Leaders talk rubbish, more people die I'm sitting on top of the world Chorus: Oh no, I can't take anymore I'm shaking all over and my nerves are all raw Oh no, my head's a little sore I want to get out, but I can't find the door Oh no, I can't take anymore I'm shaking all over and my nerves are all raw Oh no, my head's a little sore I want to get out, but I can't find the door I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
