Deep Purple - On Top of the World: chords

     G                 F                 G
Hot summer night, the working girls were on their way back home
        G                 F                      G
It was getting late so I tagged along, couldn't let them walk alone
   G                      F                G
I followed them up some greasy steps to a rooftop in the sky
    G                   F                  G
No walls around just a sea of stars, my throat was getting dry

Everyone could feel the heat that's why we all disrobed
Our clothes and inhibitions went off flying 'cross the globe
Dancing crazy, getting loose and closer to the edge
I could feel my blood was up and it was pounding in my head

Chorus:
F                     A
So there I was, just me and the girls
G                   A#      C          Dm
Under the moonlight on the top of the world
F                    A
So there I was, just me and the girls
G                   A#      C          Dm
Under the moonlight on the top of the world

As things were dying down we retreated from the precipice
I lay beside the most beautiful girl in the universe
Her name was Venus in Heaven
She fed me rice and offered me wine

I accepted ambrosia and nectar
From an amber goddess
I collapsed between the thighs of Morpheus
Next thing I felt was a sharp pain at sunrise

My mouth was open and full of rice
As I managed to prize open one of my eyes
I saw Luigi the cockroach carry off his prize
And there lay Venus still sprawled out and naked for sure

But not quite what she was the night before
I made my excuses and left through the door
Stepped into space at the twentieth floor
And that's why I don't like heights no more
