Im On My Way Tab

by Proclaimers


Have a go at this simple version of a classic song
which features in the Shrek soundtrack.

I?m on my way ? The Proclaimers

Several bars of   G   as intro

I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

 		        
I'm on my way to what
                           
I want from this world
 
And years from now
                                      
You'll make it to the next world

And everything that
                         
You receive up yonder
                               
Is what you gave to me
                       
The day I wandered

 
I took a right, I took a right
Turning yesterday
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

Yeah, I took a right
I took a right turning yesterday yay yay yaiyay

                                 
I took the road that brought me
                      
To your home town
                             
I took the bus to streets
                            
That I could walk down
                                   
I walked the streets to find
                           
The one I'd looked for

I climbed the stair that
                             
Led me to your front door


And now that
                            
I don't want for anything

I'd have Al Jolson sing
                                       
'I'm sitting on top of the world'

 
I'll do my best
I'll do my best
To do the best I can
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

Oh, I'll do my best
I'll do my best
To do the best I can


To keep my feet from
                            
Jumping from the ground
 
Dear

To keep my heart from
                             
Jumping through my mouth

Dear
                                  
To keep the past, the past
                        
And not the present

To try and learn when
                          
You teach me a lesson



And now that
                         
I don't want for anything

I'd have Al Joison sing
                                       
'I'm sitting on top of the world'


I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

Yeah, I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today


I'm on my way to
                                
What I want from this world

And years from now
                                    
You'll make it to the next world

And everything that
                          
You receive up yonder
                                
Is what you gave to me
                       
The day I wandered

                              
I'm on my way to what
                          
I want from this world

And years from now
                                     
You'll make it to the next world

And everything that
                         
You receive up yonder
                              
Is what you gave to me
                      
The day I wandered


I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
