Chords

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]

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!

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,
(Now), (now), right now!
