How to play On Top Of The World: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for On Top Of The World by The Brook & The Bluff on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

On Top Of The World by The Brook & The Bluff keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 9 chords: C, G, Fmaj7, F#m, E6, A, B, Cmaj7 and Fm.

Most of the song cycles through G – C – G – Fmaj7 (V – I – V – IVmaj7 in C major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – soh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F#m, E6, B and Fm are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
