PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR APOCALYPSE

[INTRO (instrumental) 5/4 -tom driven, tribal, huge gated snare accents]:
Em – G – D – C – B7 (one bar each)]
[ bends + slide shimmer + Synthi AKS liquid pads swirling underneath.]

[Verse 1 (5/4, gritty, swaggering, palm muted  rhythm):
Em – Em – C – D – B7 (repeat)]
[Bass does Barry Oakley counter lines; drums stay tom heavy with Ginger Baker polyrhythms.]
Grab your friends. Let’s go 
It begins. Rock ‘n’ Roll 
Scream and shout with the beat 
Freakin’ out in the street

[Pre-chorus (11/8 -tension rising, breathless, percussive:
C – D – Em – (Em) (hold the last Em across the barline for impact)]
[Gated snares explode here -stadium punch.]
Face off 
Ears blow 
Breath hot 
Sticks glow

[Chorus (Straight 4/4 for maximum punch - the release moment):
G – D – Em – C 
G – D – Em – C 
C – D – Em – Em (hold)]
[Wide harmonies, Omnisphere cathedral reverb, full band blast.]
Building shakes. Pyros flow 
Earth quakes. Enjoy the show 
Let it rip. Yell our name 
Apocalypse. 
We’re glad you came

[Verse 2 (Back to 5/4 - heavier, dirtier, more distortion):
Em – Em – C – D – B7 (repeat)]
[Add grit lead fills between lines.]
Feel the heat. Bang your head. 
Stomp your feet. Wake the dead. 
Gettin’ high on Rock n Roll.
Gonna fly outta control

[Bridge (17/16 - hypnotic, serpentine):
Em – C – G – D – (Em) (one cycle per line)]
[Synthi AKS + Minimoog bass swell + reverse reverb vocal ghosts.]
I’ll hypnotize you blow your mind 
Paralyze you till you’re blind
Take my hand don’t be afraid
Join the band. You’ve got it made.

[GUITAR SOLO (5/4 → 11/8 hybrid): 
Em – C – G – D – B7 (x2)]
[Solo style: sustain. grit. slide harmonics. triad tapping flourishes. Stadium wide delay trails]

[Pre-chorus 11/8:
C – D – Em – Em]
Face off 
Ears blow 
Breath hot 
Sticks glow

[Outro (CHORUS REPRISE 4/4 -bigger, heavier, final explosion): 
G – D – Em – C 
G – D – Em – C 
C – D – Em – (feedback swell)]
[End with a Minimoog bass drop + guitar feedback + tom roll chaos.]
Building shakes. Pyros flow 
Earth quakes. Enjoy the show 
Let it rip. Yell our name 
Apocalypse. 
We’re glad you came
