(Verse 1)
Leather boots on a lightning trail
Space invader never gonna fail
Six-string rocket, blastin’ through the haze
You lit the fuse, now we’re lost in your blaze
(Pre-Chorus)
From Bronx streets to the stars above
You played it loud, you played it tough
Silver suit and a Les Paul flame
Every riff carved out your name
(Chorus)
Fly high, Ace—ride the solar wind
Turn it up, let the legends begin
Shock me, rock me, take me to the edge
You’re the fire in the fretboard’s pledge
(Verse 2)
Comet trails in your mirrored shades
Alien grooves in the chords you played
No makeup could mask that sound
You broke the mold, tore the ceiling down
(Bridge)
Spaceman, you never came down
Still orbiting in that sonic crown
We salute you with every chord
You’re the reason we plug in and roar
(Chorus)
Fly high, Ace—ride the solar wind
Turn it up, let the legends begin
Shock me, rock me, take me to the edge
You’re the fire in the fretboard’s pledge
(Outro)
Fly high, Ace—never touch the ground
Your solos still spinning round and round
In the galaxy of rock, you’re the star we chase
Forever loud, forever Ace

Want me to mock up a poster or album cover for this tribute? Or maybe write a second verse in a bluesier tone? Let’s keep the rocket fuel burning.
