Top Of The World Performed by The Dixie Chicks From the album "Home" Tabbed by Izzylou Capo 2 D I wish I was smarter A I wished I was stronger Bm I wished I loved Jesus G The way my wife does D I wished any of it were easier A Instead of any longer Bm I wish I could have stood G Where you would have proud D A That won't happen now, that won't happen now Chorus: G A There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard Bm G Disappearing every day without so much as a word D Somehow G A Think I broke the wings off that little song bird Bm G D She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now A Top of the world D I don't have to answer A Any of these questions Bm G Don't have no god to teach me no lessons D I come home in the evening A Sit in my chair Bm One night they called me for supper G But I never got up D I stayed right there A In my chair Chorus n.C. D I wished I would have known you A Wished I would have shown you Bm All of the things G I was on the inside D I pretend to be sleeping A When you come in in the morning Bm To whisper goodbye G Go to work in the rain D I don't know why A Don't know why Chorus 2: G Cause everybody's singing A We just want to be heard Bm Disappearing everyday G Without so much as a word D -stop- Some how G A Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird Bm G Take her for a ride to the top of the world D - stop - Right now - Instrumental - Bm, G - Vocal wailing - Bm G Oh, oh...
