Van Morrison – Back On Top (Ukulele)

Em                           C
 You came to see me when the moon was new.

Em                       C
 Saw you standin' in the pouring rain.

Em                      C
 Left my message on the window pain;

Am7          Bm7      Cmaj7
 Back on the street a-gain,

Am7          Bm7    Cmaj7
 Back on the beat a-gain,

       Am7         Bm7    G
I'm... back on the top, a-gain.

Em                      C
 Saw me climbing to the top of the hill,

Em                           C
 You saw me meeting with the fools on the hill.

Em                        C
 Learned my lesson, and I had my fill.

Am7        Bm7    Cmaj7
 Learnt it all in vain,

Am7              Bm7   Cmaj7
 Went through it all a-gain.

        Am7         Bm7    G
Now I'm back on the top, a-gain.

D                                        C
 Always strivin', always climbing way be-yond my will.

D                                     C
 Same old sensation; isolation at the top of the bill.

D                                        C
 Always seeming like I'm moving, but I'm really going slow.

D                                                    C
 What do you do, when you get to the top and there's nowhere to go?

Em                            C
 Just how I get there will be anybody's guess,

Em                                C
 With all the so called trappings of success.

Em                             C
 Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill.

Am7       Bm7     Cmaj7
 Too busy raisin' Cain,

    Am7         Bm7      Cmaj7
I'm back on the street a-gain.

       Am7         Bm7    G
I'm... back on the top, a-gain.

D                                        C
 Always strivin', always climbing way be-yond my will.

D                                     C
 Same old sensation; isolation at the top of the bill.

D                                        C

D                                                    C
