'v' indicates shallow tremelo action... basically vibrato.
'|' indicates a certain section of music... not a traditional musical
measure

 If you pick up the beat, you can forget about the heat.

 More than just a dash...

[play verse]
  It's a test of ultimate will
  A heartbreak climb uphill
  Got to pick up the pace
  If you want to stay in the race...


[play 1st half of intro riff]
  More than blind ambition
  More than simple greed
  More than a finish line
