Top of the World Guitar Tablature
Dixie Chicks- Top of the World
Pretty simple chord progression and a great song, look at the bottom of the tab for some cool chord maneuvers. 
Standard tuning E-A-D-G-B-e

E						B
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
                            C#m		  A
I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does.
			E			  B
I wish it had been easier, instead of any longer.
			     C#m					A
I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud,
			E			      B
that won't happen now, that won't happen now.

Chorus A:
                     A                    			        B
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard,
	   C#m			     A			      E
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
      A					B
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
                 C#m		    A		                  E
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
                       B
Top of the world.

Second Verse: same as first verse. 
I don't have to answer any of these questions.
Don't have no God to teach me no lessons.
I come home in the evening, sit in my chair.
One night they called me for supper, but I never got up,
I stayed right there in my chair.

Chorus A 

Third Verse: same as others
I wished I'd a known you, wished I'd a shown you,
All of the things I was on the inside.
I'd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain.
I don't know why, don't know why.

Chorus B
Cause everyone's singing, we just wanna be heard.
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow.
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird,
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now.

C#m A 3x

     C#m	A			C#m				
Whoa.  Whoa.  To the top of the world.  To the top of the world.  
			A							C#m		
To the top of the world.  To the top of the world.  To the top of the world.
						   A				           C#m
To the top of the world.  To the top of the world.  To the top of the world.

(and so on and so forth) 

NOTE:
A cool way to play an E chord, and A chord and a B chord 
quickly (especially for beginning guitar players) is by sliding 
the E chord shape up to the 7th fret for the A and the 9th fret 
for the B. The open strings give a pretty feel, 
NOTE: you do not barre, just slide the shape up as follows

A: 077600
B: 099800

Enjoy!
