Start Jamming...
We'd [Gm] like to open up the [E] first part of our show,
Little Number, you can't stop me now,
because I'm climbing on top of the hill.
[B]
[E] No need of running,
holding up your hand,
I [A] can get me a woman,
but you can't a man.
But now she's gone,
and [C#] I don't [F#] worry,
[Em] climbing [E] on top of the hill.
[B] Your [Em] love was alone,
but not my own.
You [A] started, baby,
breaking up my home.
But [E] now she's gone,
and I'm [Em] [F#]
[Em] in on [E] top of the hill.
[A]
[C#] Babe, I got your [E] place, it's built.
[A]
[Em] Babe, I [E] got your place, it's built.
[B] Whoa, I ain't gonna let you stop me [A] from
climbing on top [E] of the hill.
[B]
[E] Climbing on the hill,
and I'm looking down,
that [A] woman I'm loving,
she done left this town.
But [Em] now she's gone,
[E] and
[F#m] [E] I'm on top of the hill.

[A] [E]
[Em]
[B] [E] Bye-bye, babe,
bye-bye, baby,
you may call it gone,
it may [A] worry me now,
but it won't last long.
But [E] now she's gone,
and
[C#] [E] I'm in on top of the hill.
[B] [E]
Sometimes I don't [A#] know why I write songs
[B] about whiskey, women, and money.
We haven't found anything in our [A] life
that's important enough to sing about.
That's one reason.
