Intro:
G

Verse 1:
G
 When I was young, I'm thinkin' 'bout what Life would be
Em
  In black and white, playing on our old TV
C
 You never failed me, you were all I needed to know
D
 On your white horse, you were my hero
G                               Em
 All that lady, girl of my childhood dreams
                                           C
The guy in black was always chasing her it seems
                                    D
But, I never worried vertue triumph in the end
                               G
And now I cheered you way back then
Chorus:
G
 All those movies in black and white
       Em
It was easy to tell the wrong from right
          C
Where the bad guy loses in the end
        D
And the good guy win the lady's hand
   G
We still need you if the truth were known
            Em
The color's fine and they improved the tone
         C
But, I'd rather get the ending right
         D                                     G
We still need heroes, heroes in black and white

Verse 2:
G
 Now I'm older and the world is a different place to see
Em
  The black and white looks a little grey to me
C
 And I have changed, cause there has been some compromised
D
 And the lady looks a little sad but wise
G
 Late at night, far past the news at 10
Em
 They're on the re-runs, riding for the truth again
C                                               D
 Sometimes I see you and I'm sure it's time you win the fight
             G
I still need heroes, heroes in black and white

Chorus:
G
 All those movies in black and white
       Em
It was easy to tell the wrong from right
          C
Where the bad guy loses in the end
        D
And the good guy wins the lady's hand
         G
We still need you if the truth were known
            Em
The color's fine and they improved the tone
         C                          D
But, I'd rather get the ending right
                    G
We still need heroes
