Dixie Chicks - Top Of The World guitar tab
Dixie Chicks- Top of the World
Pretty simple chord progression and a great song, look at the bottom of the tab for some
cool chord maneuvers.
Standard tuning E-A-D-G-B-e
E B
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
C#m A
I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does.
E B
I wish it had been easier, instead of any longer.
C#m A
I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud,
E B
that won't happen now, that won't happen now.
Chorus A:
A B
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard,
C#m A E
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
A B
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
C#m A E
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
B
Top of the world.
Second Verse: same as first verse.
I don't have to answer any of these questions.
Don't have no God to teach me no lessons.
I come home in the evening, sit in my chair.
One night they called me for supper, but I never got up,
I stayed right there in my chair.
Chorus A
Third Verse: same as others
I wished I'd a known you, wished I'd a shown you,
All of the things I was on the inside.
I'd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain.
I don't know why, don't know why.
Chorus B
Cause everyone's singing, we just wanna be heard.
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow.
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird,
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now.
C#m A 3x
C#m A C#m
Whoa. Whoa. To the top of the world. To the top of the world.
A C#m
To the top of the world. To the top of the world. To the top of the world.
A C#m
To the top of the world. To the top of the world. To the top of the world.
(and so on and so forth)
NOTE:
A cool way to play an E chord, and A chord and a B chord
quickly (especially for beginning guitar players) is by sliding
the E chord shape up to the 7th fret for the A and the 9th fret
for the B. The open strings give a pretty feel,
NOTE: you do not barre, just slide the shape up as follows
A: 077600
B: 099800
Enjoy!
