[Intro]

[Verse]
G I grew up in a military town waiting on the sky to fall D G Everybody I knew hanging around wondering what to do when the Draft Board called G Looking back it musta been a miracle, now I ever grew up at all D G To sing about living in a military town, waiting on the sky to fall
[Chorus]
C G Waiting on the sky to fall, boys, waiting on the sky to fall D G Chicken Little wasn't making nothing but noise, waiting on the sky to fall
[Solo]
G G G G G G G D G
G Spent a lonely lifetime rolling down the line, searching for the Holy Grail D G Never once crossed my solitary mind that any such consecrated quest?fd fail G Come upon an ocean and much to my chagrin, they told me that ship had sailed D G Walking on the water cause I never learned to swing searching for the Holy Grail
[Chorus]
C G Searching for the Holy Grail, friends, searching for the Holy Grail D Been across the oceans and now I?fm back again, searching for the Holy Grail
[Solo]

G Been around enough to know a little bit now and I?fm sitting on tip of the world D G Wanging on a guitar while the sun goes down and singing a song about a redheaded girl G Was a time I would have said those days were gone, but I?fm giving it another whirl D G Didn't know that I was gonna live this long, now I?fm sitting?f on top of the world
[Chorus]
C G Sitting on top of the world, y?fall, sitting on top of the world D G Eyes wide open until the Messenger calls, sitting on top of the world
