E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
When I was a young boy, I didn?t need much
E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
A kind word or two, or a warm touch
E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
For what it stands, i got a man
E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
With an empty beer bottle and a screaming hand

[chorus]
E    E    E    E
You are my hero x4
B  B   B    B   B  B    B  B    B  B    B  B    B  B    B  B
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
E    E    E    E
You are my hero x4
B   C#    G# A (bar)
I, don?t, know

E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
I try my best, to still have fun
E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
Cowboys and Indians, pirates and cap guns
E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
For what it stands, i got a man
E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
With an empty beer bottle and a screaming hand

You are my hero x4
B   C#    G# A (bar)
I, don?t, know

E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
But that young boy, he?s older now
E                             F# G#            A(bar) 
He thought that life was simple, but is finding out
E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
He sees how hard things were, for his old man
E                    F# G#            A(bar) 
With an empty beer bottle and a screaming hand
 
E      G#            A
