 Subject: TAB: SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD BY AMANDA MARSHALL 
  
 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 kirkjc@ccnet.com, enjoy...Kirk C.

 VERSE 1: 
 E    A      D     A      E    A   D   A 
     Never seen a sky so blue 
        E         A          D     A 
 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

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

 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 
     F#m               G#m   A     D 
 That I belong with you and baby, baby.  Baby, you belong with me
