I'm On My Way
This song features on the 'Shrek' soundtrack

Several bars of   G   as intro
G
I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
D
I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

 G		        C
I'm on my way to what  
     D              C        G  
I want from this world 
 G                          
And years from now
              C        D         C       G
You'll make it to the next world
G
And everything that
  C         D           C   G
You receive up yonder
 G                              D
Is what you gave to me
         C       B       D
The day I wandered

 G
I took a right, I took a right
Turning yesterday
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
D
Yeah, I took a right
I took a right turning yesterday yay yay yaiyay
	
G                                 C
I took the road that brought me
 D              C       G
To your home town
G                             C
I took the bus to streets
        D             C       G
That I could walk down
G                                   C
I walked the streets to find
         D           C       G
The one I'd looked for                           
G
I climbed the stair that
D               C       B       D
Led me to your front door

C
And now that
 D                           G
I don't want for anything
C     
I'd have Al Jolson sing
         D                              G
'I'm sitting on top of the world'

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

G
To keep my feet from
 C              D             C
Jumping from the ground
 G
Dear
G
To keep my heart from
 C               D             C
Jumping through my mouth
G
Dear
 G                                 C
To keep the past, the past
          D         C     G
And not the present
G 
To try and learn when
D               C        B   D
You teach me a lesson


C
And now that
D                         G
I don't want for anything
C
I'd have Al Joison sing
        D                               G
'I'm sitting on top of the world'

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

G
I'm on my way to
 C            D             C      G
What I want from this world
G
And years from now
              C       D          C     G
You'll make it to the next world
G
And everything that
 C          D           C    G
You receive up yonder
G                                D
Is what you gave to me
         C        B      D
The day I wandered

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

Is what you gave to me
         C       B      D
The day I wandered

G
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
