E               F#m C#m          A
When I was a young, I didn’t eat much
E               F#m C#m             A
A can of one or two, or eight won’t touch
E             F#m C#m    A
For what it’s in, I got amends
E                     F#m C#m             A
With an empty milk bottle and a screaming hand

[chorus]
E 
You are my hero x4
B
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
E
You are my hero x4
B  C#m    A
I, don’t, know

E          F#m C#m           A
I try my best, to still have fun
E               F#m C#m                A
Cowboys and Indians, more pies you can burst
E            F#m C#m     A
For what it’s in, I got amends
E                    F#m C#m              A
With an empty milk bottle and a screaming hand

[chorus]

E                      C#m         A
Look at that young boy, he’s older now
E                               C#m               A
He thought that life was simple, but he’s finding out
E                             C#m         A
He sees how hard things were, for his old man
E                         C#m             A                
With an empty milk bottle and a screaming hand 

E C#m A x4
