I’M A WILD CHERRY

[Intro] [distorted electric guitar feedback and wah-wah solo] [drums enter with heavy snare and crash cymbals] Come on! Yeah! Let's go! [syncopated guitar and bass riff] Hey! [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar riff, driving bass] I came out swinging with my boots on fire Red hot heart-beat climbing higher and higher A little bit of reckless, a whole lot of free Ain't nobody putting chains on me Smoke starts rising from the amplifier glow Whole room shaking from the front row to the back row Every eye burning like a midnight flame You ain't gonna forget my name Raise those hands! [guitar slide] Let me hear you shout! Everybody ready? Come on! [Chorus] [full band, heavy distortion] I'm a wild cherry Sweet with a dangerous bite I'm a wild cherry Burning through the middle of the night Can't slow me down Can't change who I am I'm a wild cherry Come and take my hand I'm a wild cherry [Verse 2] [bass and drum groove, staccato guitar stabs] Two-fisted screaming with a heart of gold Hammering and rolling with a soul so bold Every heartbeat lands like a hammer strike Tonight we're giving everything we've got Everybody singing loud and free This is where we're meant to be Hands together side by side Come on, take this ride Home now! Yeah! Raise your voice! Get loud! I want to hear this whole place sing! [Chorus] [high-pitched vocal scream] I'm a wild cherry Sweet with a dangerous bite I'm a wild cherry Burning through the middle of the night I'm a wild cherry Wild and free I'm a wild cherry Come and sing with me (Whoa-oh) I'm a wild cherry [Bridge] [guitar solo with wah-wah and rapid alternate picking] [vocal ad-libs] I'm a wild cherry (wild cherry) Wild cherry (wild cherry) Wild cherry (wild cherry) Wild cherry (wild cherry) You're so beautiful Stay right where you are [drum fill] [Guitar Solo] [blues-rock shredding, pinch harmonics] [Outro] [heavy rhythmic stabs] I'm a wild cherry Yes I am Whoa-oh Come on I'm a wild cherry, wild and free Turn it up louder, come rock with me I'm a wild cherry, yes I am Everybody clap your hands [cowbell enters] Take it! Come on! [unintelligible shouting] I'm a wild cherry Burn it down, that's what I'm talking about I'm a wild cherry, yes I am Hey! Hey! Hey! Take it! Whoa-oh Sing it! Higher! Higher! One more time, everybody! I'm a wild cherry, yes I am Come on Whoa-oh Yeah! Take it! [final guitar chord feedback]
