 Yet another great, easy-to-play GBS tune

 When I'm Up

            F              C
 I am the fountain of affection
            F          Am
 I'm the instrument of joy
    F                       C
 to keep the good time rolling,
          F            G
 I'm the boy, I'm the boy

                  F                  C
 You know the world could be our oyster
        F                 Am
 If you put your trust in me
        F                      C              F             G
 We'll keep the good times rolling wait and see, wait and see
         Am
 Wait and see

                       G
 There's exaltations, sweet disintegrations
     F                                  G
 A few discolorations then it comes along
 Am                        G
 Up is why he chooses, the kisses and the bruises
             F                                 Am
 There ain't nothing he refuses then it comes along
          F                   C
 It comes along and I am lifted
             F                    C
 It comes along and I am lifted
  F                 G
 I am lifted, I am lifted

 Chorus

  F                        C
 When I'm up I can't get down
           F               G
 Can't get down can't get level
  F                       C
 When I'm Up I can't get down
       F                   G
 Get my feet back on the ground
  F                        C
 When I'm up I can't get down
           F               G
 Can't get down can't get level
  F                       C
 When I'm Up I can't get down
       F                   G
 Get my feet back on the ground

 He just needs something to bind him
 Something to wind him up
 It won't take long to find him
 When it comes on strong

 Black skies a grinning, street lights are spinning
 The night is just beginning, when it comes on strong
 It comes on strong, and I am lifted
 It comes on strong, and I am lifted
 I am lifted, I am lifted

 Chorus

 Oh it comes on strong, and I am lifted.
 It comes on strong, and I am lifted.
 I am lifted, I am lifted!
