[verse 1] Bass and drums pull the trigger Lights are sparking from The rings on fingers; Fingers sweep, fingers attack Fingers caress and slap that axe! Electric cellos plucked and bowed Dance together in syncopation While funk-back bass and sassy snares Build anticipation….... [chorus] Step into the stringline! Six string warrior and a drummer! Guitar and cello and bass together Make ‘em sing, make ‘em wail! Let the rockers with the strings Roll forth to tell the tale! Step on up into the…..stringline! [verse 2] Iron Man and Affirmation Johnny B. Goode and The Thrill is Gone Thunderstruck and Layla The Hotel California and Comfortably Numb Bohemian Rhapsody and Master of Puppets Purple Rain and Sweet Child O' Mine Crazy on You and Voodoo Child Smoke on the Water and Eruption Scuttle Buttin’ and Stairway to Heaven [chorus] Step into the stringline! Six string warrior and a drummer! Guitar and cello and bass together Make ‘em sing, make ‘em wail! Let the rockers with the strings Roll forth to tell the tale! Step on up into the…..stringline! [instrumental break for two electric guitars and two electric cellos to solo with call-and-response in harmony] [bridge] How many hot tracks Can the axe men make? How many sweet tunes Where strings on fire Leave smoke in their wake? [final chorus] Step into the stringline! Six string warrior and a drummer! Guitar and cello and bass together Make ‘em sing, make ‘em wail! Let the rockers with the strings Roll forth to tell the tale! Step on up into the…..stringline! [outro] No One Knows and Floods (Step into the stringline!) The Spirit of Radio and Snow Hey Oh (Step into the stringline!) Come Together and The Pretender (Step into the stringline!) Schism and Don’t Fear the Reaper (Step into the stringline!) Make ‘em sing, make ‘em wail! Let the rockers with the strings Roll forth to tell the tale! Step on up into the…..stringline! [hot licks and drums to out!]
