This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Verse 1
Standin'in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, and like a distant scream
E D
He heard one guitar, just blew him away
E D
Saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Verse 2
Bought a beat up six-string in a second hand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
E D
That that one guitar felt good in his hands
E D
Didn't take long to understand
E D
Just one guitar, slung way down low
E D
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started rockin', ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin', someday he's gonna make it to the top

Chorus: And be a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
He's a juke box hero
He took one guitar (saw stars in his eyes)
Juke box hero, he'll come alive tonight

Verse 3
In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow by the backstage door
E D
Like a trip thorugh the past, that day in the rain
E D
That one guitar made his whole life change
