[Intro]
Dm Dm Dm Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm
I’ll be strumming my axe In a basement dive
Bb C Dm
With my totally kick-ass band
Bb F Gm Dm
When an army of A&R men will arrive
C Bb A Dm
With pens and contracts in hand
Dm
And they’ll whisk me away in a big black car
C/D
And the record execs and the girls from PR
Dm Bb
They’ll know from the start What I major league star I will be!!!
A
Just wait and see!!!
[Chorus]
Dm
When I climb to the top of mount rock
Dm C Dm
And I’m there staring down from the heights
Ab Dm
With the crowd at my feet and a seven inch bulge
Dm Db Dm
In my lizard skin spandex tights
Dm/E Dm/F Dm/E
I’ll dive off the edge straight into a crowd
Dm Dm/E Dm/F
That’s screaming my name out loud
Ab A
And the gates will unlock
Dm
At the top of mount rock
[Verse 2]
Dm
I’ll be blowing out amps Playing stadium shows
Bb C Dm
On my sold out galactic tour
Bb F Gm Dm
And I’ll blister the ears Of the first thousand rows
C Bb A Dm
And leave while they beg for more
Dm
Then I’ll pop the champagne And the party will rage
C/D
Now brown M&Ms in my green room backstage
Dm Bb
Bigger than Hendrix, and Clapton, and Page And the rest,
A
the all-time best!!!!
[Chorus]
Dm
When I climb to the top of Mount Rock
Dm C Dm
And I’m perched at the uppermost peak
Ab Dm
With a legion of groupies all duking it out
Db Dm
For my chiseled rock god physique
Dm/E Dm/F Dm/E
And I’ll scatter hit singles all over the land
Dm Dm/E Dm/F
With my 12 Grammys in hand
Ab A
Watch the fan boys all flock
Dm
At the top of Mount Rock
[Bridge]
Dm C/E
The doubters, and the haters,
Bb/F Dm/A
And the hipsters let ‘em laugh
Dm C Bb Dm
Soon they’ll all be begging for my roadie’s autograph
A/E
I know my time is coming
Bb
Well hopefully it’s coming
Eb A
I’m pretty sure it’s coming any day
Eb A
Once they hear my play!!!!!
Dm
Then the dreams that I had since the day I turned 10
Bb Dm
Will be finally coming true
Bb F Gm
And no one’ll call me a loser again
Dm
Or tell me what I can’t do!
[Verse 3]
Dm
So I hold my head high and keep strumming those strings,
C/D
And grab any chance that my destiny brings.
Dm
And I’ll rise, and I’ll rise, and I’ll rise,
Bb
And the wings of my soul
A
Up where I belong!!!!!!
[Chorus]
Dm
And I’ll climb to the top of Mountain Rock!
C Dm
And be part of that heavenly scene
Ab Dm
With Odin and Zeus on the bass and the drums
Db Dm
And Thor playing tambourine.
Dm/E Dm/F Dm/E
And Amos and Janis and Kurt will appear
Dm Dm/E Dm/F
And Jesus’ll toss me a beer
Ab A
And we’ll jam ‘round the clock
Dm
At the top of Mount Rock
[Outro]
Dm
At the top of Mount Rock
Dm
At the top of Mount Rock!!!!!!!
