Lyrics:
G7
One summer day, she went away
C7
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay
Chorus:
G7 D7
She's gone but I don't worry
I'm sittin on top of the world
G7 C7 G7 D7
All the summer worked all this fall
had to take christmas in my overalls
Chorus
Solo
Goin down to the graveyard gonna catch me a freight train
gonna leave this town work done got too hard
Chorus
G#7 G7
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official CREAM tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
