Top of the World Dixie Chicks
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]I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.[B]
I wished I love Jesus, the w[C#m]ay my wife doe[A]s.
I wish it had been easie[E]r, instead of any longer.[B]
I wished I could have stood w[C#m]here you would have been proud,[A]
that won't happen now, t[E]hat won't happen now.[B]
Chorus A:
There's a whole lot o[A]f singing that's never gonna be heard,[B]
Disappearin[C#m]g everyday without so much[A] as a word somehow.[E]
Think [A]I broke the wings off that little [B]song bird,
She's never gonna[C#m] fly to the top of [A]the world right now.[E]
Top of the world.[B]
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
Whoa.[C#m] Whoa. To[A] the top of the world. [C#m]To the top of the world.
To the top of the world.[A] To the top of the world. To the top of the world.[C#m]
To the top of the world. To the top of the world. [A] To the top of the world.[C#m]
(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
