Taking It To The Top

Chris De Burgh


Tom: Dm

D                           Em
Every now and then I hear a song I used to know,
G                            D
Playing late at night on radio,
                                   Em
And I remember when the schooldays finally had to end,
        G                                D
We were neatly wrapped and sent off in a row


[Bridge]
          Bb
To be the champions of the world,
       C
We can take on anyone,
Dm              Bb               A
Nothing's gonna keep us from the door


[Chorus]
                       Dm
We're taking it to the top
         Gm                 F
Oh yes indeed we are, we've come this far,
      A                Dm
We're taking it to the top
          Gm                  F
Oh yes, indeed we will, we've got the skill,
      A                Bb C
We're taking it to the top_
A                     Dm
Hitting them from the heart,
            Bb C
Too late to stop,
A              Dm 
Right from the start
          Bb C
Up to the top_
A                   Dm
Giving it all we've got,
       Bb         C          D
To the top of the hill right now!


                           Em
Working on the window of a boardroom in the sky,
G                               D   G A D
Business men in suits go flying by,
                                          Em
They're heading for the greatest day that they have ever seen,
G                          D
Selling bridges to the Japanese


[Bridge]
           Bb
We are the champions of the world,
       C
We can take on anyone,
Dm              Bb             A
Nothing's gonna keep us on the floor


[Chorus]
                       Dm
We're taking it to the top
          Gm                 F
Oh yes, indeed we are, we've come this far,
      A                Dm
We're taking it to the top
         Gm                  F
Oh yes indeed we will, we've got the skill,
      A                Bb C
We're taking it to the top_
A                     Dm
Hitting them from the heart,
            Bb C        Dm
Too late to stop, right now!


[Instrumental]
B  Em  G  D  Bb  C  Bb  C  A


[Chorus]
                 Dm
Taking it to the top
          Gm                 F
Oh yes, indeed we are, we've come this far,
      A                Dm
We're taking it to the top
         Gm                  F
Oh yes indeed we will, we've got the skill,
      A                Bb C
We're taking it to the top_
A                     Dm
Hitting them from the heart,
            Bb C
Too late to stop,
A            Dm
Once we have started,
       Bb C
To the top_
A                   Dm
Giving it all we've got,
       Bb         C          D
To the top of the hill right now,
