Key: :[Ab] (w: Charlie Reid, Craig Reid)
VERSE 1:
[Ab] I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
[Eb] I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
[Ab] I'm on my way to
[Db] what I want from
[Eb] this
[Db] world
[Ab] And years from now you'll
[Db] make it to the
[Eb] next
[Db] world
[Ab] And everything that
[Db] you'll receive up
[Eb] yon-
[Db]-der
[Ab] Is what you give to
[Eb] me the day I
[Db] wander
VERSE 2:
I took a right, I took a right Turning yesterday
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Yeah, I took a right I took a right Turning yesterday
(yeh yeh yeh yeh)
I took the road that brought me to your home town
I took the bus to streets that I could walk down
I walked the streets to find the one I looked for
I climbed the stair that led me to your front door
BRIDGE:
[Db] And now that
[Eb] I don't want for
[Ab] anything
[Db] I'll have Al
[Eb] Jolson sing "I'm
[Ab] sitting on top of the
[Eb] world"
VERSE 3:
I'll do my best, I'll do my best, To do the best I can
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Oh, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, To do the best I can
To keep my feet from Jumping from the ground, Dear
To keep my heart from Jumping through my mouth, Dear
To keep the past, the past, and not the present
To try and learn, when you teach me a lesson
