Chords

[Intro] G G7 C G G D G [Chorus 1]
       D                     G
It's a long long way, to the top of the world

     C               G               D
On a rough road that winds round and round

       G                     C          G
It's a long long way, to the top of the world

                D               G
But it's only a short fall back down.
[Verse 1]
  G                     D             G        C
A young man filled with dreams, I let ambition rule me

       G                        D
Like a hunger that gnawed at my soul

         G             D                    G           C
I worked hard, made my fortune but lost the heart of my darling

        G              D              G
She got lonely and her love soon grew cold.
[Chorus 2]
       D                     G
It's a long long way, to the top of the world

     C               G               D
On a rough road that winds round and round

       G                     C          G
It's a long long way, to the top of the world

                D               G
But it's only a short fall back down.
[Instrumental] G G7 C G G D G [Verse 2]
          G            D            G          C
Now I'm a big man with money but at love I'm a pauper

         G                      D
The love I once had another man claims

              G         D            G              C
I reached the top of my world but my heart hit rock bottom

        G                 D           G
I can't hold love through fortune and fame.
[Chorus 3]
       D                     G
It's a long long way, to the top of the world

     C               G               D
On a rough road that winds round and round

       G                     C          G
It's a long long way, to the top of the world

                D               G
But it's only a short fall back down.
[Outro] G D G G
