    Top of the World Tour (...

I couldn't find a version that I liked so I just switched out the chords that weren't right.
For the solo and ending I just play use the same chords to form a progression that 
fits the song, so just do whatever feels right. 

Standard tuning, unless you want to tune half a step down to be in the same key as 
the actual song.


                  G             Cadd9 
I said I wanna touch the earth 
           G           Cadd9
I wanna break it in my hands
          G                  Cadd9         D
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
          G                 Cadd9
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
         G                 Cadd9
In the comfort of your arms
      G             Cadd9
On a pillow of blue bonnets
      D
In a blanket made of stars
      G           Cadd9     D
Oh it sounds good to me I said
     

          G   C   D 
Cowboy take me away
                 Em
Fly this girl as high as you can
    C             D
Into the wild blue
       G   C   D
Set me free oh I pray
          Em 
Closer to heaven above and
C          D                 G
Closer to you,  closer to you
    

         G            Cadd9
I wanna walk and not run
         G               Cadd9
I wanna skip and not fall
        G               Cadd9
I wanna look at the horizon 
          D
And not see a building standing tall
         G
I wanna be the only one
  Cadd9
For miles and miles
  G               Cadd9
Except for maybe you 
           D
And your simple smile
      G    Cadd9      D
Oh it sounds good to me I said
   G        Cadd9       D
It sounds so good to me
      

        G   C     D 
Cowboy take me away
                  Em
Fly this girl as high as you can
  C               D
Into the wild blue
        G     C     D
Set me free oh I pray
            Em 
Closer to heaven above and
C          D                G   
Closer to you, closer to you
