[Verse 1]
E                B
I was courting a southern belle
E                    B
Her Daddy was a rich 'un, too
E             B
Sports car outside her door
        D           A        B
She was pretty good lookin', too
E               B
You call me up, want me to come over
E                     B
When the servants are all in bed
E                           B
And she said, "Daddy's on a flight tonight
              D    A            B
Does that put any ideas in your head?" I say to her
 
[Chorus]
E       B
Take it all the way
               E                   B
Can you really take it all the way down
               E       B
Can you really take it all the way
D    A    B
Down down down
D    A    B
Down down down
 
[Verse 2]
E                    B
So we watch a little TV
E                     B
I drink up the family wine
E                        B
She said, "You're such a snake in the grass, boy
D     A     B
But tonight you're mine"
           E       B
But wait a minute, wait a minute baby
        E                B
Are you tryin' to make a fool out of me
E                    B
She said, "I've seen men like you, before
           D    A      B
I've got a long family tree" and she said to me
 
[Chorus]
E       B
Take it all the way
               E                   B
Can you really take it all the way down
               E       B
Can you really take it all the way
D    A    B
Down down down

And I say to myself, "Even a fool like me can be the loving kind"
F#                 Abm         C#
Even a fool like me can be the loving kind
 
[Chorus]
E       B
Take it all the way
               E                   B
Can you really take it all the way down
               E       B
Can you really take it all the way
D    A    B
Down down down
E       B
Take it all the way
               E                   B
Can you really take it all the way down
               E       B
