After I did 'Jingle Bells', it reminded me to a melody of this song. 'Top of the world', one of the best song from the Carpenters. In this song I did it in the key of G with low G ukulele as usual, but it also works with high g tuning. Enjoy!

Top of the world

Intro: G Gsus4| G Gsus4|

[G]Such a [D]fellin's coming[C] over [G]me, There is wonder is most [D]every[C]thing I [G]see

Not a [C]cloud in the [D]sky, Got the [G]sun in my [Em]eyes

And I [Am]won't be surprised if it's a [D]dream.

[G]Every[D]thing I [C]want the world to [G]be, Is now [G]coming true es[D]pecially for [G]me

And the [C]reason is [D]clear, it's be[G]cause you are [Em]near

You're the [Am]nearest thing to heaven that I've [D]seen

I'm on the [G]top of the world looking [C]down on creation,

And the [G]only expla[D]nation I can [G]find

Is the [C]love that I've [D]found, ever [G]since you've been a[C]round,

Your love's [G]put me at the [D]top of the [G]world.
