   E
Standin' in the rain with his head hung low.
                                         D/E
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show.
                      E
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture
    D/E
the scene
                   E                        D/E
Put his ear to the wall, and like a distant scream.
                    E               D
He heard one guitar, just blew him away.
                     E                   D
Saw stars in his eyes and the very next day.

Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That one guitar felt good in his hands
Didn't take long to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go

               B/F#
So, he started rockin', ain't never gonna stop.
Gotta keep on rockin', someday he's gonna make
it to the top.

Chorus:
          Em       G6          D           Em
And be a juke box hero, (got stars in his eyes)
        Em       G6 D Em
He's a juke box hero
               Em
He took one guitar
           G6     D          Em
(Juke box hero, stars in his eyes)
         Em    G6           D     Em
Juke box hero, he'll come alive tonight.

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow,
by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past,
to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change
Chorus:
Now he needs to keep on rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke box hero, (got stars in his eyes)
He's a juke box hero, (got stars in his eyes)
And be a juke box hero, (got stars in his eyes)
He took one guitar, (stars in his eyes)
He'll come alive tonight woah

Chorus:
Yeah, he's gotta keep on rockin'
Never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rocking'
Someday gonna make it to the top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero
Yeah juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Juke box hero, ahh
Juke box hero, ahh
Juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes
