Not For Heroes chords by Chris Ledoux

Chords with lyrics

DbDb
There are songs about the heroes and the great things they have done
GbGb                     DbDb
And the hell they went through to get this far

But this song is for the cowboy who never been a hero
    Eb MajorEb                   AbAb
And the hard times he goes through all the while
DbDb
He gives it all he's got but it's never quite enough
  GbGb                     DbDb
Oh the Lord and him alone know how he's tried

But he'll try and try again although he'll never win
                AbAb        DbDb
And all that he's got goin' is his pride

GbGb                       DbDb
He's never been a hero and he probably never be one
   GbGb            Eb MajorEb           AbAb
But in his heart he knows he gave his all
   GbGb                       DbDb
My hat goes off to you my friend and to the champ you might have been
GbGb          AbAb            DbDb
If Lady Luck had smiled on you at all

D MajorD
The bones are just too tough and he doesn't have enough
G+G                     D MajorD
Of what it takes to make it to the top
D MajorD                D MajorD
What makes him want to go well Lord I guess I know
D MajorD            A augmentedA          D MajorD
He loves it too damn much to ever stop

D MajorD
He bites the dust once more gets up to hear no score
G+G                          D MajorD
Then he stumbles to the chutes to ease the pain
D MajorD                        D MajorD
And underneath his breath he cusses to himself
D MajorD             A augmentedA       D MajorD
I'll ride him if I get the chance again

G+G    D MajorD
He's never been a hero and he probably never be one
G+G         E MajorE        A augmentedA
But in his heart he knows he gave his all
  G+G  D MajorD
My hat goes off to you my friend and to the champ you might have been
  G+G         A augmentedA             D MajorD
If Lady Luck had smiled on you at all
