Chords for Stryper - Through My Eyes

In 1984, [F] four young men from Orange County, [F] California set out to change the face of metal music.
The group is Striper.
Its sound is heavy metal, but the [C] words are biblical.
Armed [F] only with guitars, [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] big hair,
The [Db] kids could not relate to somebody [C] with short hair.
The kids [Bb] are into this work.
free [Ab] Bibles,
Instead [F] of urinating on the crowd, popular at other concerts, Striper throws New Testaments.
And [Fm] a wardrobe full of yellow and black [Db] spandex, Striper took their metal [D] mission to the world.
We're sharing our [D] beliefs in our lyrics.
There's [Db] new ways to reach people as [Eb] a Christian.
I think this is a new way [Fm] to do it.
Twelve albums and ten million record [Eb] sales later, Striper embarked on their 25th anniversary world [Bbm] tour.
And now, [C] _ this [Eb] August, Striper are heading [F] down under.
I _ [A] _ _
[B] still remember the first time I heard [Ab] Striper.
It was back in [B] 1986, and the album was To Hell With The [D] Devil.
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ Man, this is awesome!
_ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] My son, [F] listen to [A] this.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Now that's awesome!
_ _ [Abm] Man, that album [Gb] totally blew my mind.
I [B] was only a young kid at the [Eb] time, but that album put hairs on [Abm] my chest.
And I've listened to it [Ab] regularly for the last [E] 25 years, and that album has now put hair in my ears.
[Abm] I've got hair growing [Ab] out of my nose, and I recently [E] noticed that I've got hairs growing on my back.
You know, [B] a hairy back, man.
That is [Ab] so metal.
Hair metal.
That's where it's at.
That's what it was all about back then.
[Ebm] You know, modern Christian contemporary music owes a huge debt to Striper.
[F] Before Striper, the only [B] Christian artist out there were people like Amy Graham.
[Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Eb] And Billy Bob and the Bible [E] Bashers.
Jesus rocks, [B] Jesus rolls, Jesus [E] satisfies my soul.
But [Eb] Striper came on, they were the first Christian band to be [B] signed to a major label.
They had a huge sound, a [D] huge show, [Db] and a huge message, man.
That's what it was all [B] about.
You know, it's been 25 years, and I've been [E] along for the entire journey.
You know, I've been there with them for the rockin'.

_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] Yeah, it was the 80s, man.
Everything was about [E] being big.
Big hair, big [Eb] guitar sound, big reverb drums.
It was all about being big.
Except for the pants, [Abm] they were really small and tight for some reason.
[Eb] _ Man, [Fm] you better believe I've got my ticket.
I've got my [B] ticket right here, man.
Can you guys [Ab] see that?
It says unreserved, man.
[B] That's not referring to a seating arrangement.
That's an invitation to [Abm] totally rock out, man.
[Dbm] Just let it all hang out.
Be unrestrained.
Just [Ab] go for it.
Just go [Eb] with the flow, man.
Let's rock and roll.
Unreserved, man.
That is [Eb] where it's at.
[Bb] You better [Eb] believe it, man.
I've been waiting 20 years for [Bb] this.
Sydney Metro, I'm gonna be there.
[Cm] You better be there.
[Bb] You better be there.
What possible reason do you have for not being there?
I'll tell you.
None.
[F] No reason.
So let's be there.
