G7 
One summer day, she went away 
C7 
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay 
 
 
Chorus: 
	       G7                D7 
	She's gone but I don't worry 
 
	I'm sittin on top of the world 
 
	G7 C7 G7 D7 
 
All the summer worked all this fall 
had to take christmas in my overalls 
 
Chorus

Goin down to the graveyard gonna catch me a freight train  
gonna leave this town work done got too hard 
 
Chorus 
 
G#7 G7
