It's A Long Long Way To The Top Of The World
Recorded by Jim and Jesse
Written by Don Wayne
[3/4 time]

C C7 F C
It's a long long way to the top of the world
G7 C
But it's only a short fall back down

G7 C F
A young fool filled with grief I let ambition rule me
C G7
Like a hunger that gnawed at my soul
C G7 C F
I worked hard made my fortune but lost the heart of my darling
C G7 C
She got lonely and her love soon grew cold

G7 C
It's a long long way to the top of the world
F C G7
On a rough road that winds round and round
C C7 F C
It's a long long way to the top of the world
G7 C
But it's only a short fall back down

G7 C F
Now I'm a big man with money but at love I'm a pauper
C G7
Though what I once held now another man claims
C G7 C F
I've reached the top of the world but my heart hit rock bottom
C G7 C
I can't make love to fortune and fame

Repeat #3

G7 C
But it's only a short fall back down
