SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD -- Amanda Marshall
Written by: Amanda Marshall, Copyright Metatune Inc. (SOCAN)


This is a pretty simple but effective tune from Amanda's first release
entitled Amanda Marshall.  Rhythm guitar pattern is quite common and played
pretty much throughout.  I've included some tablature for the lead guitar
riff as well (used in the intro and a few places as well).  What really
makes the tune is Amanda's vocal phrasing.  I've tried to match the chord
changes to the way she phrases the lyrics but don't let that throw you--the
the rhythm guitar part is pretty steady and consistent throughout the
entire
tune.  Comments most welcome at [email protected], enjoy...Kirk C

E    A      D     A      E    A   D   A
    Never seen a sky so blue

I've never been happy with anyone
E      A       D         A
Like I am when I'm with you
E    A           D          A          E   A   D   A
    Look at the sun shining up in the sky
        E            A         D        A
And I feel a little closer to heaven, baby
E         A        D        A
When I'm looking into your eyes

And as long as we're together, boy I'm sitting on top of the world
       C#m              D            C#m(let ring)           E   A   D   A

VERSE 2:
E    A           D           A              E         A
    Last night I lay in the dark tryin' to figure it out
           D          A
Tryin' to talk to my heart
   E  A        D             A                E   A   D   A
But now it's morning and I still don't know why
E              A               D          A
All I know is that you got me feeling so good baby
E              A                D               A
All I know is that it feels the way that true love should
E    A            D            A      E   A   D   A
    Ain't no one luckier than you and I

    C#m                  A                            E   A   D   A
And everybody's got an opinion 'bout how this should be
    F#m                     G#m  A                      E   A   D   A
But they don't understand it,    No, no they just can't see

That I belong with you and baby, baby.  Baby, you belong with me
