_(Kick on 1 and 3)_
It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
R-r-r-rising up to the challenge of our rival
_(Kick on 1, snare on 2 & 4, repeat with slight variations)_
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And it’s time to feel the power
Of our dreams and our pride
_(Kick on 1 and 3)_
Our finest hour, this is our moment of truth
And this is the one last warning
Chorus
_(Kick on 1 and 3, bass drum accent on 'beat')_
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry, they got the need
_(Kick on 1, snare on 2 & 4, repeat with slight variations)_
They are the best, they are the best, the strongest in the world
_(Kick on 1, snare on 2 & 4, add cymbal and hi-hat rhythm, add bass drum accent on 'beat')_
And there’s nothin’ like the feeling
When you stand and you're hit with the eye of the tiger
Bridge
_(Slow drum roll)_
Through every fire I’ll fight my way through
And there’s nothing that will stop us
Now the last has got to rise above
_(Kick on 1 and 3)_
The final round is ours, we’ll face it to survive
Chorus
_(Kick on 1 and 3, bass drum accent on 'beat')_
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry, they got the need
_(Kick on 1, snare on 2 & 4, repeat with slight variations)_
They are the best, they are the best, the strongest in the world
_(Kick on 1, snare on 2 & 4, add cymbal and hi-hat rhythm, add bass drum accent on 'beat')_
And there’s nothing like the feeling
When you stand and you're hit with the eye of the tiger
_(Extended drumming with various fills, cymbal crashes, and flourishes)_
