Intro:
Gb/Bb, Gb4/B, Gb2/Ab    X2    end with Db

[Shrek] 
Db                Gb                  Gb/F  Ebm
I guess I'd be a hero, With sword and armor clashing
       Gb/Bb Ab/C                        Db
Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip
Db         Db/F  Gb                Gb/F     Ebm 
Or else I'd be a Viking and live a life of daring 
                Gb/Bb     Ab/C               Gb2
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.
         Db2/F            Gb2                    Fm7 
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches 
Gb2          Db2/F               Gb2      F/A
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea. 
    Bbm    Ab/C      Gb
And maybe storm some beaches. 

Gb2                               Db
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be. 

Db              Gb                Gb/F    Ebm
Or I could be a poet and write a different story, 
         Gb/Bb     Ab/C                        Db
One that tells of glory, and wipes away the lies 
Db         Db/F       Gb                       Gb/F     Ebm
And to the skies I'd throw it, the stars would do the telling 
               Gb/Bb     Ab/C                              Gb2
The moon would help with spelling, and night would dot the 'I's
 
            Db2/F            Gb2               Fm7 
I'd write a verse, Recite a joke, with wit and perfect timing. 
Gb2           Db2/F               Gb2      F/A      Bbm   Ab/C      Gb
I'd share my heart, confess the things I yearn, and do it all while rhyming. 
Gb                 
But we all learn. But we all learn.

Db2          Ab2/C    
And Ogre always hides,    
Db2          Ab2/C 
an Ogre's fate is known 
Db2                                       Cm   Bbsus4  Bb
And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone 

D         D/F#  G               D/F#     Em
So yes I'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted
          G/B  A/C#                        D
Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.
D            D/F#  G                 D/F#     Em
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower 
            G/B      A/C#                   D
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away 
G2           D2/F#            G2                 F#m
But standing guard would be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it,
G2         D2/F#                  G2           F#m
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet. 

G2             D2/F#                G2                  F#m
We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars ascending 
G             D2/F#            G2   F#         
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny
    Bm     A2     G         Bm      A
I'd have a hero's ending, a perfect happy ending.
G
That's how it would be
  Em         D/F#          G
A big bright beautiful world 
A           
But not for me.

G2/B      D/A          G         D/F#         G/B                   A/C#
An ogre always hides. An ogres fate is known. An ogre always stays in the dark

                                             [Shrek] (same time as Fiona's same line)
                                              An ogre always stays in the dark

                                                                     [Donkey]
                                                                      you're all alone

C#m
All Alone (All at the same time)

[Shrek]
Eb        EB/G    Ab           Eb/G      Fm         Ab/Eb         Bb/D                        Eb
So yes i'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted my life would be enchanted or so the stories say. 
Eb            Eb/G Ab              Eb/G     Fm                         Bb                  Ab2
Of course I'd be a hero and I would scale a tower to save a hot-house flower and carry her away!

              [Fiona]
                There are rules and there are strictures. I believe the story books i read by candle light
              [Donkey]
                Don't let me go, Don't let me go, Don't let me go


[All]
  Cm      Bb/D   Ab2    Cm/G   Fm       Bb2  Bb    Eb  Eb/G  Ab  Eb/G  Fm  Bbsus4  Bb    And then end on Eb
A perfect happy ending, that's how.... it.. should be!
