Sittin' On Top Of The WorldBy Walter Vinson & Lonnie Chatmon of the Mississippi SheiksPlayed acoustically on a DGB cigar box guitar with a Lowe resonator cone and an old Hohner wood body Blues Harp. Song done in G and harp in G. I=G, IV =C and V =D.One summer [I] day, she gone away.She gone and [IV] left me.She's gone to stay.Now she's [I] gone,but I don't [V] worry.Cause' I'm [IV] sittin' on top of the[I] world. [V]Was in the spring, one early fall.Just trying to find my, little all in all.Now she's gone. And I don't worry.Cause I'm sittin on top of the world.I worked all summer. I worked all fall.Had to take Christmas in my overalls.Now she's gone and I don't worry.Cause I'm sittin on top of the world.I'll hop a train in the freight yard.I'll leave this town. Things got too hard.Now she's gone and I don't worry.Cause I'm sittin on top of the world.

Lovely to hear this John. You are in fine voice. Nice balance between your voice and the guitar. Harp sounds good too. Happy Independence Day to you.
