[F#] Now she's gone, [C#] I don't worry,
[F#] Cause I'm sitting [G#] on top of the [F#] world.
I work all summer, I know the form,
I even [B] spend Christmas in my [F#] overalls.
Now she's gone, I [C#] don't worry,

[C#m] Now she comes [F#] here running,
Holding out your little hand,
I'm gonna get [B] near and warm her, honey,
Like [F#] you got that in the land.
Now she's gone, [C#] I don't worry,
Cause [B] I'm sitting [G#] on top of [F#] the world.
Didn't you like my features?
Why'd you shake your tree?
Get out of [B] my orchard, baby,
I like my [F#] features, baby.
Now she's gone, [C#] I don't worry,
Cause [B] I'm sitting on [F#] top of the world.
I just had to sing a [F] verse, too.
[F#] Did you ever hear that last verse before?
I've heard [C#] you do it, but I haven't heard anybody else do it.
[F#] [Bm] I heard Carl Perkins and [F#] Ben Morrison do that,
and that's where I learned the song.
You did what?
[D#] I heard Carl Perkins and [F#] Ben Morrison doing that song.
Yeah.
On a Sun Records thing.
Oh, yeah.
And then I found out that I think [F#m] the Mississippi Sheiks, I [B] guess,
Yeah, Mississippi Sheiks, they had a good version [F#] of it.
I remember, they're the first people I ever heard do it,
on one of their records
Go ahead, son.
