I want to stand so still that I  
             Bm             A(V)      D  
can feel the earth moving beneath my  feet  
                Bm              F#m 
And from this position   I will rise  
          A D/A A          
Right on,  
      F#m 
right on,  
          A D/A A  
right on

Wa  hoo                   I'm pleased to meet cha  
(repeat) 
 
I hung my washing on the line  
and there's my favourite shirt with the cars on it  
And then the sun fell from my eyes  
And I'm gone, and I'm gone, and I'm gone  
   
Wa  hoo x 3 
I'm pleased to meet cha  
Wa  hoo x 3 
I'm pleased to meet cha
