Guitar Hero

{arena-rock cold open, pickup guitar motif,

count-in

sticks} Lights come alive,

the crowd starts to roar,

Six strings calling like never before.

Every note’s a spark,

every chord’s a flame,

Step into the spotlight,

remember my name. {verse groove,

guitars tighter, vocal enters} Hands on the fretboard,

heartbeat in time, Turning every moment into a climb.

{lift, open hats, rising guitars} I’m a guitar hero,

reaching for the sky,

Playing every dream until the stars ignite.

Turn it up louder,

let the echoes fly,

Every song’s a journey,

every riff’s alive. I’m a guitar hero,

never letting go, Feel the music racing through my soul.

One more solo, one more show— This is where I belong.

(oh-oh) {big chorus, wide guitars,

anthem feel} {8-bar

instrumental, guitar lick call-and-response,

reset to verse} Strings sing stories that words can’t explain,

Every victory follows the pain.

From the smallest stage to the biggest lights,

I’m chasing the sound through endless nights.

{verse 2, add counter-melody} No fear,

no turning back, Every melody keeps me on track.

When the final chord rings through the air,

I’ll leave a piece of my heart right there. (ahhhh)

{breakdown then rebuild} I’m a guitar hero,

hear the anthem rise,

Shining brighter than the city lights.

Every chord together, every voice as one,

The music lives on when the night is done.

I’m a guitar hero,

forever I’ll play, Keeping every memory alive each day.

Raise your hands, let the guitars glow— Together we’ll rock the world!

(oh-oh) {final peak, add lead guitar solo lines between phrases} {ring-out,

feedback tail, final drum hit,

fade}
