Verse 1:
G+G
 When I was young, I'm thinkin' 'bout what Life would be
E minorEm
 In black and white, playing on our old TV
C majorC
 You never failed me, you were all I needed to know
D MajorD
 On your white horse, you were my hero
G+G                E minorEm
 All that lady, girl of my childhood dreams
                      C majorC
The guy in black was always chasing her it seems
                  D MajorD
But, I never worried vertue triumph in the end
                G+G
And now I cheered you way back then

Chorus:
G+G
 All those movies in black and white
    E minorEm
It was easy to tell the wrong from right
     C majorC
Where the bad guy loses in the end
    D MajorD
And the good guy win the lady's hand
  G+G
We still need you if the truth were known
      E minorEm
The color's fine and they improved the tone

G+G
 Now I'm older and the world is a different place to see
E minorEm
 The black and white looks a little grey to me
C majorC
 And I have changed, cause there has been some compromised
D MajorD
 And the lady looks a little sad but wise
G+G
 Late at night, far past the news at 10
E minorEm
 They're on the re-runs, riding for the truth again
C majorC                        D MajorD
 Sometimes I see you and I'm sure it's time you win the fight
       G+G
I still need heroes, heroes in black and white
