here are the guitar chords for top of the world .
the other tab is totally correct but if you’re a guy you’ll find this song pretty high to sing .
with the chords like this there is a lot more room to shift the capo down .
i like playing it with the capo on 3 or 5 , but the original song is capo 7 .

tuning : standard – capo 7

i wished i was smarter , i wished i was stronger .
F#m D
