Hammer on the low E string while playing the G chord.

^GI grew up in a military town ^GWaitin' on the sky to fall ^GEverybody I knew hanqin' around ^Dwonderin' What they'd do when the ^GDraft Board called ^GLookin' back it musta been a miracle ^GHow I ever grew up at all ^GTo sing about livin' in a military town ^DWaitin' on the sky to ^Gfall

[Chorus] C (Strum loud) Waitin' on the sky to fall, boys

^GWaitin' on the sky to fall ^GChicken Little wasn't makin' nothin' but noise ^DWaitin' on the sky to ^Gfall

[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
