Eye Of The Tiger

Survivor

 

Normally, when I “Dash-out” chord progressions, each chord name stands for one beat.  But in the intro progression, you’ll see I crammed more chords into a measure of music than would normally be legal.  See the tabs below if you find this confusing.

Csus2            Ab

      Risin' up, back on the street

Bb                                    Csus2

Csus2                                       Ab

      Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet

           Bb                            Csus2

Just a man and his will to survive

 

Csus2                         Ab

Chorus:

It's the   eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight

tiger

 

Csus2                Ab

      Face to face, out in the heat

Bb                                  Csus2
