Holding Out For A Hero - Bonnie Tyler
Intro:
[Am] Oooooooo [Am7] Oooooooo
[F] Oo oo oo oo [E7] Aaah-[E7]-aaaAAAHHH!
Verse 1:
[Am] Where have all the good men gone and [G] where are all the gods?
[F] Where's the street-wise Hercules to [E7] fight the rising odds?
[Am] Isn't there a white knight [Em] upon a fiery steed?
[Dm] Late at night I toss and turn and I [E7] dream of what I [E7] need.
|Chorus:
|I need a [Am] hero, Iʼm holding out for a [Em] hero 'til the end of the night,
|Heʼs [F] gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
|And he's [C] gotta be fresh from the [G] fight.
|I need a [Am] hero, Iʼm holding out for a [Em] hero 'til the morning light,
|Heʼs [F] gotta be sure, and it's [Dm] gotta be soon,
|And heʼs [C] gotta be larger than [G] life...
|Larger than [Am] (life)
Post-Chorus:
[Am] Oo oo oo oo [Am7] Oo oo oo oo
[F] Oo oo oo oo [E7] Aaah-[E7]-aaaAAAHHHH!
Verse 2:
[Am] Somewhere after midnight in my [G] wildest fantasy,
[F] Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone [E7] reaching back for me.
[Am] Racing on the thunder and [Em] rising with the heat
[Dm] It's gonna take a superman to [E7] sweep me off my [E7] feet,
[E7] (yeah!)
|[Chorus x2]
|I need a [Am] hero, Iʼm holding out for a [Em] hero 'til the end of the night,
|Heʼs [F] gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
|And he's [C] gotta be fresh from the [G] fight.
|I need a [Am] hero, Iʼm holding out for a [Em] hero 'til the morning light,
|Heʼs [F] gotta be sure, and it's [Dm] gotta be soon,
|And heʼs [C] gotta be larger than [G] life...
