Sitting on Top of the World (cross harp) Harmonica Tab
This song is already posted in Bb, but the lyrics for that one are not a version I know of.
Here’s the version I know…
Greensleeves – melody and fingersty…
-2 -3 4 -4 -4 4 -4 -3
One summer day, she went away
-4 -4 4 -3’ 3 -4 -4 4 3
She gone and left me, she’s gone to stay.
-2 -2 -2 -3 3 -3 -3 3 3
But now she’s gone, and I can’t worry:
-2” -2 3 -3’ 3 -3’-3 -2 -2 -2 -2
Because I’m sitting o-n top of the world.
-2 -3 4 -4 -4 -4 4 4 4 -3’ -3
Worked all the summer, worked all the fa-l-l
-4 4 4 4 3 4 -4 4 -3’ 3
Had to take Christmas in my overalls.
-2 -2 -2 -3 3 -3 -3 3 -1
But now she gone, and I don’t worry
-3’ 3 -3’ 3 -1 -2 -2
Sitting on top of the world.
-2 -2 -3 4 4 -4 -4
Going down to the freight yard,
-4 4 -4 -3 -3
Catch me a freight train.
-4 -4 4 -3’ 3
I’m gon’ leave this town
-4 -4 -4 3 -1
Work done got ha-rd
-2 -2 -2 -3 3 -3 -3 3 -1
But now she gone, but I don’t worry
-2” -2 3 -3’ 3 -3’-3 -2 -2 -2 -2
Because I’m sitting o-n top of the world.
Was this a good
