Text updated, didn’t update lyrics on audio. Small tweaks in the lyrics, added notation for the intro and added bridge and repeat chorus at end. For the intro and small riffs during the song, I’d love a nasty, dirty violin sound like you hear in Irish tunes. Definitely not country or bluegrass. Play it like you’re a pissed off red head from Belfast.

Chasing Down the Echoes 

Intro melody notes – G – A♭ - F – G - B♭ - C                                           

[verse 1]
Bm
Out here in the shadows, I'm craving a spark,
B♭                                            Fm  
Searching through whispers, yearning for a mark. 
Bm
This world is heavy, but I won't stand still,
B♭                                    Fm       
Chasing down the echoes, pursuing my will.

[chorus]
Bm
I want to rise, I want to fly,
B♭                                      Fm     
I'm reaching for something, don't let me die.
Bm
I want to rise, I want to fly,
B♭                                      Fm
I'm reaching for something, don't let me die.

[verse 2]
Beneath fading starlight, I wander alone,
Dreams wrapped in shadows; I’m carving my own.
Through the cracks in the pavement, I search for the light,
With every step forward, I’m ready to fight.

[chorus]
I want to rise, I want to fly,
I'm reaching for something, don't let me die.
I want to rise, I want to fly,
I'm reaching for something, don't let me die.

[bridge]
Bm
In the shadows of giants, I won’t fade away,
B♭                              Fm                                    
Carving my presence, in the light of the day.
Bm
With echoes of laughter, and whispers of dreams,
B♭                              Fm                                    
I’ll rise from the ashes, bursting at the seams.

[chorus]
I want to rise, I want to be,               
A beacon of hope for the world to see.
Through the noise and the chaos, my voice will resonate,
In a search for better, no time to hesitate.

[repeat chous]
I want to rise, I want to fly,
I'm reaching for something, don't let me die.
I want to rise, I want to fly,
I'm reaching for something, don't let me die.
