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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  C  Dm  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
