I’M ON MY WAY

Intro: F#-G  x3   

F#-G means simply: play the F# barchord and slide to the G bar chord. When you
get good at this, you can fit it into the song in different places (Particularly
the beginning of each of the last four lines of each verse…give it a whirl…it’s
easy…and sounds super spiffy!) Listen to the song for the rhythm. You basically
just bounce off the strings the whole way through the song.

F#-G
I’m on my way, from misery to happiness today

Uh-huh (Uh huh) Uh huh (Uh huh)
D7
I’m on my way, from misery to happiness today

Uh huh (Uh huh) Uh huh (Uh huh)
F#-G                             C
I’m on my way, to what I want from this world
F#-G                                            C
And years from now, you’ll make it to the next world
F#-G                               C
And everything that you receive up yonder
F#-G                               D7
Is what you gave, to me the day I wondered

G                   
I took a right, I took a right turn and yesterday

Uh huh (Uh huh) Uh huh (Uh huh)
D7
Yeah I took a right, I took a right turn and yesterday

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
F#-G                               C
I took the road, that brought me to your home town
F#-G                          C
I took the bus, to streets that I could walk down
F#-G                                    C
I walked the streets, to find the one I’d looked for
F#-G                                     D7
I climbed the stair, that led me to your front door




CHORUS:
C                     D                         G
And now, that I don’t want, for anything

Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh
C                  D                         G                            D
I’ll have Al Jolson sing, “I’m sittin’ on top of the world!”


F#-G
I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can

Uh huh (Uh huh) Uh huh (Uh huh)
D7
Yeah I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can

Aah-Aah-Aah-Aah
F#-G                                   C
To keep my feet, from jumpin’ from the ground dear
F#-G                                     C
To keep my heart, from jumpin’ through my mouth dear
F#-G                                C
To keep the past, the past and not the present
F#-G                                   D7
To try and learn, when you teach me a lesson

(CHORUS)

F#-G
I’m on may way, from misery to happiness today

Uh huh (Uh huh) Uh huh (Uh huh)
D7
Yeah I’m on my way, from misery to happiness today

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
F#-G                             C
I’m on my way, to what I want from this world
F#-G                                            C
And years from now, you’ll make it to the next world
F#-G                                C
And everything, that you receive up yonder
F#-G                               C
Is what you gave, to me the day I wandered

F#-G                              C
I’m on my way, to what I want from this world
F#-G                                           C
And years from now, you’ll make it the next world
F#-G                                C
And everything, that you receive up yonder
F#-G                               D7
Is what you gave, to me the day I wandered……
F#-G
         I’m on my way (x4)
