[Intro]
N.C.
I'm a rock believer

[Instrumental]
A  D  A  E  2x

[Verse 1]
               A/C#
You start to crawl until you walk
              D
You make a scream and learn to talk
A/C#                         E
 You discover life on every day
          A/C#
From the first day you were born
                D
You walked the lifeline of your own
A/C#                         E
 And if you always keep the faith
 F#m                   E      D
No one can take your dreams away

[Verse 2]
         A
In the ruins of their souls
             D
You saw the beauty of it all
A                      E
 Simply a generation change
     A
Our fathers came with steel
             D
But we came back to make you feel
A                            E
 Our love in every song we play

How to play Rock Believer: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Rock Believer by Scorpions on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Rock Believer by Scorpions is built around A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), with 9 chords in all: A, D, E, A/C#, F#m, Bm, A5, F#5 and E5.

Listen for D – A – E – F#m (IV – I – V – vi in A major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, C, D, Em, Am, G5, E5, D5 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 63% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
