Hammer on the low E string while playing the G chord.
I grew up in a military town
Waitin on the sky to fall
Everybody I knew hanqin around wonderin
What they d do when the Draft Board called
Lookin back it musta been a miracle
How I ever grew up at all
To sing about livin in a military town
Waitin on the sky to fall
[Chorus]
(Strum loud)
Waitin on the sky to fall, boys
Waitin on the sky to fall
Chicken Little wasn t makin nothin but noise
Waitin on the sky to fall
[Verse] Repeat chords
Spent a lonely lifetime rollin down the line
Searchin for the Holy Grail
Never once crossed my solitary mind
That any such consecrated quest d fail
Came upon an ocean and much to my chagrin
They told me that ship had sailed
Walkin on the water cause I never learned
To swin searchin for the Holy Grail
Searchin for the Holy Grail, friends
Searchin for the Holy Grail
Been across the oceans and now I m back again
Searchin for the Holy Grail
Been around enough to know a little bit now
And I m sitting on tip of the world
Wangin on a guitar while the sun goes down
And singin a song about a redheaded girl
Was a time I would have said those days were gone
But I m givin it another whirl
Didn t know that I was gonna live this long
Now I m sitting on top of the world
Sittin on top of the world, y all
Sittin on top of the world
Eyes wide open until the Messenger calls
Sittin on top of the world
