Hero In Me

You need to tune your guitar up a little bit in order to play
along with the recording. For example, the E MajorE string needs to be
tuned somewhere between E MajorE and F.

Chords are:

G+G   3 2 0 0 3 3
A minorAm   X 0 2 2 1 0
C majorC   X 3 2 0 1 0

     E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE
Emdim/C# X 4 2 0 2 0

A augmentedA diminished E MajorE minor over C#C# is just a C majorC with the roots
raised 1/2 step.

It helps to know that this song is in 6/8 time. Each dash
is a beat.

The chords of the semi-chorus are played by guitar only after the

E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F#  G+G  Csus2Csus2

The low notes of this second verse are really for a bass, but you can
use your imagination and pretend you're playing one.
