Song Tabs

 "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor is an iconic rock anthem, famous for its driving rhythm and memorable riff. While the original track features electric guitar with palm-muted power chords, this ChordPro version is well adapted for acoustic guitar and beginner players, using open chords and a straightforward structure.

Chords and Progression

The entire song uses basic open chords: Am, F, G, C, Dm, and Em. If you're not yet comfortable with F, try the easier Fmaj7 or simplified F shape.

Chord transitions mainly move between Am, F, and G in the verses, with Dm, C, G, and Em added for the chorus. Practice moving between Am → F → G smoothly, as this is the backbone of the song.

Strumming Pattern

A good strumming pattern is: Down, Down-Up, Down, Down-Up (D D-U D D-U), keeping a steady, punchy rhythm.

For more energy, accent the first down strum of each bar and lightly palm-mute by resting the side of your palm on the strings near the bridge.

Additional Tips

Play the intro with strong, deliberate downstrokes to mimic the original's intensity. Count four bars of Am and F combinations before starting the verse.

Keep your wrist loose and focus on clean chord changes. Practice slowly, then build up speed as you get comfortable.
