Intro:
DmDm DmDm DmDm DmDm
Verse 1:
DmDm
I’ll be strumming my axe In a basement dive
Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm
With my totally kick-ass band
Bb majorBb FF G minorGm DmDm
When an army of A&R men will arrive
C majorC Bb majorBb A augmentedA DmDm
With pens and contracts in hand
DmDm
And they’ll whisk me away in a big black car
C/DC/D
And the record execs and the girls from PR
DmDm Bb majorBb
They’ll know from the start What I major league star I will be!!!
A augmentedA
Just wait and see!!!
Chorus:
DmDm
When I climb to the top of mount rock
DmDm C majorC DmDm
And I’m there staring down from the heights
AbAb DmDm
With the crowd at my feet and a seven inch bulge
DmDm DbDb DmDm
In my lizard skin spandex tights
Dm/E Dm/F Dm/E
I’ll dive off the edge straight into a crowd

That’s screaming my name out loud
AbAb A augmentedA
And the gates will unlock
DmDm
At the top of mount rock
Verse 2:
DmDm
I’ll be blowing out amps Playing stadium shows
Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm
On my sold out galactic tour
Bb majorBb FF G minorGm DmDm
And I’ll blister the ears Of the first thousand rows
C majorC Bb majorBb A augmentedA DmDm
And leave while they beg for more
DmDm
Then I’ll pop the champagne And the party will rage
C/DC/D
Now brown M&Ms in my green room backstage
DmDm Bb majorBb
Bigger than Hendrix, and Clapton, and Page And the rest,
A augmentedA
the all-time best!!!!
Chorus:
DmDm
When I climb to the top of Mount Rock
DmDm C majorC DmDm
And I’m perched at the uppermost peak
AbAb DmDm
With a legion of groupies all duking it out

For my chiseled rock god physique

And I’ll scatter hit singles all over the land
DmDm Dm/E Dm/F
With my 12 Grammys in hand
AbAb A augmentedA
Watch the fan boys all flock
DmDm
At the top of Mount Rock
Bridge:
DmDm C/EC/E
The doubters, and the haters,
Bb/FBb/F Dm/A
And the hipsters let ‘em laugh
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb DmDm
Soon they’ll all be begging for my roadie’s autograph
A/EA/E
I know my time is coming
Bb majorBb
Well hopefully it’s coming
Eb MajorEb A augmentedA
I’m pretty sure it’s coming any day
Eb MajorEb A augmentedA
Once they hear my play!!!!!
N.C.
Then the dreams that I had since the day I turned 10
N.C.
Will be finally coming true
N.C.
And no one’ll call me a loser again
N.C.
Or tell me what I can’t do!
Verse 3:
DmDm
So I hold my head high and keep strumming those strings,
C/DC/D
And grab any chance that my destiny brings.

And I’ll rise, and I’ll rise, and I’ll rise,
Bb majorBb
And the wings of my soul
A augmentedA
Up where I belong!!!!!!
Chorus:
DmDm
And I’ll climb to the top of Mountain Rock!
C majorC DmDm
And be part of that heavenly scene
AbAb DmDm
With Odin and Zeus on the bass and the drums
DbDb DmDm
And Thor playing tambourine.
Dm/E Dm/F Dm/E
And Amos and Janis and Kurt will appear
DmDm Dm/E Dm/F
And Jesus’ll toss me a beer
AbAb A augmentedA
And we’ll jam ‘round the clock
DmDm
At the top of Mount Rock
Outro:
DmDm
At the top of Mount Rock
DmDm
At the top of Mount Rock!!!!!!!
