Few songs are as instantly recognizable as “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. Originally made famous through Rocky III, its driving rhythm and unforgettable riff have made it a go-to song for sporting events, workout playlists, and classic rock cover bands for more than four decades.
While the iconic guitar hook grabs everyone’s attention, the rest of the song is surprisingly approachable once you lock into the steady rhythm. It’s a fun tune to learn because it builds confidence with repetition while still delivering plenty of energy every time you play it.
This free hand-written chord chart is based on my own interpretation of the original recording and is organized to be practical, readable, and easy to use. Whether you’re learning the song for a live performance or just want to play one of rock’s greatest anthems, this chart is designed to help you get there without the clutter of an overly complicated transcription.
