AmWhere (x02210@1)have all the good men gone
    G (320003@1)                    X
And where are all the gods?
AmWhere's (x02210@1)the street-wise Hercules
    C (x32010@1)                    XX
To fight the rising odds?
Am (x02210@1)                         G (320003@1)                X
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
 F (133211@1)                                
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
*G  (let ring)            
of what I need

 F (133211@1)                   C (x32010@1)                            GI'm (320003@1)holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
                AmHe's (x02210@1)gotta be strong
                   FAnd (133211@1)he's gotta be fast
    C (x32010@1)                                Gx2 (320003@1)(let ring)
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
          AmI (x02210@1)need a hero
 F (133211@1)                   C (x32010@1)                         GI'm (320003@1)holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

(Repeat)

AmSomewhere (x02210@1)after midnight
      F (133211@1)              X
In my wildest fantasy
AmSomewhere (x02210@1)just beyond my reach
        G (320003@1)                          XX
There's someone reaching back for me
Am (x02210@1)                      G (320003@1)                   X
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
F (133211@1)                                        (C)
Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet?
