C                C7         F          C 
It's a long long way to the top of the world 

                G7              C 
But it's only a short fall back down 


                         G7          C        F 
A young fool filled with grief I let ambition rule me 

       C                        G7 
Like a hunger that gnawed at my soul 

         C            G7                   C           F 
I worked hard made my fortune but lost the heart of my darling 

        C          G7                 C 
She got lonely and her love soon grew cold 


       G7                   C 
It's a long long way to the top of the world 

     F               C               G7 
On a rough road that winds round and round 

C                C7         F          C 
It's a long long way to the top of the world 

                G7              C 
But it's only a short fall back down 

  
                       G7           C          F 
Now I'm a big man with money but at love I'm a pauper 

              C                         G7 
Though what I once held now another man claims 

                 C          G7           C              F 
I've reached the top of the world but my heart hit rock bottom 

        C            G7          C 
I can't make love to fortune and fame 


       G7                   C 
It's a long long way to the top of the world 

     F               C               G7 
On a rough road that winds round and round 

C                C7         F          C 
It's a long long way to the top of the world 

                G7              C 
But it's only a short fall back down 


                G7              C 
But it's only a short fall back down
