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,
D Bb A
Nothing's gonna keep us from the door
D
We're taking it to the top
Gm F
Oh yes indeed we are, we've come this far,
A D
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,
D Bb A
Nothing's gonna keep us on the floor
D
We're taking it to the top
Gm F
Oh yes, indeed we are, we've come this far,
A D
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 D
Too late to stop, right now!
Instrumental: B Em G D Bb C Bb C A
D
Taking it to the top
Gm F
Oh yes, indeed we are, we've come this far,
A D
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 D
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,
(Now), (now), right now!
