[G] I grew up in a military town, waiting on the sky to fall.
Everybody I knew here in, [A] wondering what to [G] do in a dreadful cold.
Looking back, it must have been a miracle, now I never grew up at all.
Yeah, about living in a military town, waiting on the [G] sky to fall.
[C] Waiting on the sky to [G] fall, boys, waiting on the sky to fall.
Chipping a little wood and making a little [A] noise, waiting on the [G] sky to fall.
[A] [G] Spending a little of my time rolling down the line, searching for the holy grail.
Never once crossed my solitary [A] mind, any such [G] request would fail.
Come across the ocean, much to my disagreement, told me that ship is sailed.
Walking on the water, cause I never learned to [A] swim, searching for the [G] holy grail.
[Em] Searching for the holy grail, friend, [G] searching for the holy grail.
Then across the ocean, I'm back [A] again, searching for the [G] holy grail.

[G] [B]
[G] I've been around, never know a little man now, sitting on top of the world.
Well, guess how high the sun goes [A] down, sing a [G] song about a red-headed girl.
Those are the times I would have thought them days was done, I'd given in to their world.
Didn't know how it's gonna live this [B] long, now sitting on [G] top of the world.
Sitting on top of the world, yeah, sitting on top of the world.
Eyes wide open till the messenger [A] comes, sitting on top [G] of the world.
