Was all the summer, and all the fall,
Just trying to find my little all in all
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
An' you come here runnin', holdin' up your hand
Can't get me a woman, who can just kill a man
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
It have been days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry and prayer in vain
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
Goin' to the station, down in the yard
Gone get me a freight train, worked some, got hard
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should you beg me and say goodbye
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

Tuning: D G D G B D
Key: F
Tempo: 87.2
Pitch: +0 cents

toorak's noting: Intentionally, I have implemented a 12-bar blues chord progression in this version.
Therefore, the tonic is F, the dominant is C, and the subdominant is B-flat.
There is a cadence starting in measure 9, for example:
Measure #9: The dominant (V) - Cm7
Measure #10: Subdominant (IV) - Bbmaj7
Measure #11: Tonic (I) - F
The stars in the following diagram represent the cadence as previously explained.
Please find below the 12-bar blues chord progression example:
