Artist Name
Bob Dylan
Album
Good As I Been To You
E
Was in the summer, one early fall
                       A           E
Just trying to find my baby all in all
          E(4)          B               A                     E
Now she's gone, I don't worry, Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world

Was in the spring, one summer's day
Just when she left me, she gone to stay
Now she's gone, I don't worry, Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world

Now don't come runnin', holdin' up your hand
Gonna get me a woman quicker than you can get a man
Now she's gone, I don't worry, Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world

Had been for days, didn't know your name
Why should I worry or crave your game (?)
Now she's gone, I don't worry, Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world

Went to the station down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train; work ain't that hard
Now she's gone, I don't worry, Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world

The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should I beg you, you say goodbye
Now she's gone, I don't worry, Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world

Notes on Sittin' On Top Of The World:
By E(4) I mean the normal E chord in the 4th position.  That is, bar
the 4th fret and play the C form, or else the simpler play the D form
on the 4th fret.
