Holding Out For a Hero v1   Bonnie Tyler

lding Out For a Hero v1}
{st:Bonnie Tyler}

#Bonnie Tyler
#Holding Out For A Hero
#
#This is without doubt, one of the greatest 80's songs ever. and probably most remembered by children in Short-Circuit 2 when Johnny 5 races across the peer to capture Oscar!!!
#Recently it was redone by the Jennifer Saunders for Shrek 2, and it is definately one song that gets your pulse racing.
#There were no tabs, so i had to take initiative. I did it listening to the cd, its a little bit wrong at the bridge, but if there's any other problems, email me:

#Thanks, and enjoy

the chords are basically the same all the way thru

Verse 1

am                                   g
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
f                                   em               e
Where's the great white Hercules to fight the rising odds?
am                                g
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
f                                     em              e
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what i need


Chorus

[am]I need a hero
                      g
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
     f
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
    em                      e
and gotta be fresh from the fight
[am]I need a hero
                      g
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
     f
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
         em                   e
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than [am]life

repeat intro

verse 2

[am]Somewhere after midnight
      g
In my wildest fantasies
f
Somewhere just beyond my reach
        em                        e
There's someone reaching back for me
am                        g
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
f                             em              e
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet

Chorus

[am]I need a hero
                      g
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night

he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast

and gotta be fresh from the fight
[am]I need a hero
                      g
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
     f
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
         em                   e
And he's gotta be larger than life

[am]I need a hero
                      g
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night

Bridge

[am]I (pray) the mountains neath the heavens above
g
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
f                                          am
I can swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
[am]Through the wind and the chill and the rain
g
and the storm and the flood
f                                         am
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
f           am
(fire in my blood) x4
then em/e

Chorus

[am]I need a hero
                      g
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
     f
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
    em                      e
and gotta be fresh from the fight
[am]I need a hero
                      g
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
     f
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
         em                   e
And he's gotta be larger than life
