Words & Music by Al Jolson, Billy Rose, and Dave Dreyer
Recorded by Al Jolson, 1927

The bird [A7+]with feathers of blue is waiting for you

Back in your own [A7+]back yard;

You’ll find [A7+]your castle in Spain through your win – dow – pane

Back in your own [A7+]back yard.

Oh, you can go to the east,[F#m+7] go to the west,

Someday you’ll come

Weary at heart[Bm7-5] back where you started from.

[A7+]You’ll find [A7+]your happiness lies right under your eyes

Back in your own [A7+]back yard.

The lyric and guitar chord transcriptions are the work of The Guitarguy

CAPO 2ND FRET

I’m sitting on top of the world,
Just rolling along
Just rolling along.

I’m quitting the blues of the world,
Just singing a song
Just singing a song.

Glory, hallelujah, I just phoned the parson,
“Hey, Par, get ready to call!”
Just like humpty dumpty
I’m ready to fall.

I’m sitting on top of the world,
Just rolling along
Just rolling along.

Dont want any millions, I’m gettin’ my share
I’ve only got one suit, just one, thats all I can wear

A bundle of money, don’t make me feel gay
a sweet little hunny, is making me say
