Junior Rock Band
Hey Junior Rock Band! Welcome to your online learning page!
On this page I'll upload tutorials of the songs we're learning over Term 2.
They'll be a range of videos, sheet music and lyrics to help each of you out on your individual instrument.
Make sure you practice at least once a day and if you have any problems just get in touch with me and message me on Dojo and I'll be sure to help you out the best I can.
Be sure to watch/listen to the song over and over and over again! This will help you understand how it goes, all the parts and get you real familiar with it!
On Top of the World - Imagine Dragons
On Top of the World - Lyrics
Intro - clapping and melody
Verse:
If you love somebody
Better tell them why they're here 'cause
They just may run away from you
You'll never know
what went well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
I've had the highest
mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but not til you move it
Now take it in but don't look down
Chorus
'Cause I'm on top of
the world, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world
Verse 2
I've tried to cut
these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something
I coulda gave up then
but
Then again I couldn't have 'cause
I've traveled all this way for something
Now take it in but don't look down
Chorus 2
'Cause I'm on top of
the world, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world
'Cause I'm on top of the worldddd
Instrumental Interlude
(ohhh ohh ohhh part)
'Cause I'm on top of
the world, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
Bridge
And I know it's hard
when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now
And I know it's hard
when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now
Chorus/Outro
'Cause I'm on top of
the world, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world
Guitar Riff Tab
This riff plays throughout the intro and all verses. Just not the chorus. Start practicing real slow, then you can gradually speed up and play along with the song.
( the -/- symbol just means repeat the bar you've just played already)
Piano/Keyboard Players
If you need to write in your notes to the above just use the following helper below:
Also if you need additional help with the rhythm (it is a tad tricky!) just check out the video below of me playing it and you should get it quick smart!
