G 
I grew up in a military town 
G 
Waitin' on the sky to fall 
G                               D 
Everybody I knew hanqin' around wonderin' 
                        G 
What they'd do when the Draft Board called 
G 
Lookin' back it musta been a miracle 
G 
How I ever grew up at all 
G 
To sing about livin' in a military town 
D                     G 
Waitin' on the sky to fall 


C (Strum loud) 
Waitin' on the sky to fall, boys 
G 
Waitin' on the sky to fall 
G 
Chicken Little wasn't makin' nothin' but noise 
D                     G 
Waitin' on the sky to fall 


Verse Repeat chords 

Spent a lonely lifetime rollin' down the line 
Searchin' for the Holy Grail 
Never once crossed my solitary mind 
That any such consecrated quest'd fail 
Came upon an ocean and much to my chagrin 
They told me that ship had sailed 
Walkin' on the water cause I never learned 
To swin searchin' for the Holy Grail 

Searchin' for the Holy Grail, friends 
Searchin' for the Holy Grail 
Been across the oceans and now I'm back again 
Searchin' for the Holy Grail 

Been around enough to know a little bit now 
And I'm sitting on tip of the world 
Wangin' on a guitar while the sun goes down 
And singin a song about a redheaded girl 
Was a time I would have said those days were gone 
But I'm givin' it another whirl 
Didn't know that I was gonna live this long 
Now I'm sitting' on top of the world 

Sittin' on top of the world, y'all 
Sittin' on top of the world 
Eyes wide open until the Messenger calls 
Sittin' on top of the world
