Intro:
Gb/Bb, Gb4/B, Gb2/Ab    X2    end with Db

Shrek:
 Db                   Gb                     Gb/F       Ebm          
I guess I'd be a hero, With sword and armor clashing

        Gb/Bb       Ab/C                             Db      
Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip

 Db            Db/F       Gb                   Gb/F          Ebm       
Or else I'd be a Viking and live a life of daring

                 Gb/Bb           Ab/C                    Gb2       
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.

          Db2/F                  Gb2                        Fm7                 
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches

 Gb2              Db2/F                     Gb2          F/A      
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea.
Bbm        Ab/C           Gb          
And maybe storm some beaches.


 Gb2                                   Db     
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be.


 Db                 Gb                   Gb/F         Ebm         
Or I could be a poet and write a different story,

          Gb/Bb           Ab/C                             Db   
One that tells of glory, and wipes away the lies

 Db            Db/F            Gb                          Gb/F          Ebm       
And to the skies I'd throw it, the stars would do the telling

                Gb/Bb           Ab/C                                   Gb2      
The moon would help with spelling, and night would dot the 'I's


             Db2/F                  Gb2                   Fm7                 
I'd write a verse, Recite a joke, with wit and perfect timing.

 Gb2               Db2/F                     Gb2          F/A          Bbm       Ab/C           Gb          
I'd share my heart, confess the things I yearn, and do it all while rhyming.

 Gb                                     
But we all learn. But we all learn.


 Db2              Ab2/C           
And Ogre always hides,

 Db2              Ab2/C            
An Ogre's fate is known

 Db2                                           Cm      Bbsus4         Bb    
And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone          


 D           D/F#       G                 D/F#          Em         
So yes I'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted

           G/B      A/C#                             D      
Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.

 D              D/F#       G                   D/F#          Em      
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower

             G/B          A/C#                        D     
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away

 G2              D2/F#                  G2                    F#m                
But standing guard would be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it,

 G2            D2/F#                        G2              F#m                  
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet.


 G2                D2/F#                      G2                     F#m                 
We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars ascending

 G               D2/F#                  G2      F#    
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny

     Bm        A2        G           Bm         A               
I'd have a hero's ending, a perfect happy ending.

 G                        
That's how it would be

   Em            D/F#               G   
A big bright beautiful world

 A                 
But not for me.


Fiona:
 G2/B           D/A              G           D/F#              G/B                       A/C#            
An ogre always hides. An ogres fate is known. An ogre always stays in the dark


                                             Shrek: (same time as Fiona's same line)
                                              An ogre always stays in the dark

                                                                     Donkey:
                                                                      you're all alone

 C#m                                  
All Alone (All at the same time)


Shrek:
Eb        EB/G    Ab           Eb/G      Fm         Ab/Eb         Bb/D                        Eb
So yes i'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted my life would be enchanted or so the stories say.
 Eb               Eb/G      Ab                 Eb/G          Fm                            Bb                     Ab2       
Of course I'd be a hero and I would scale a tower to save a hot-house flower and carry her away!


              Fiona:
                There are rules and there are strictures. I believe the story books i read by candle light
              Donkey:
                Don't let me go, Don't let me go, Don't let me go


All:
  Cm      Bb/D   Ab2    Cm/G   Fm       Bb2  Bb    Eb  Eb/G  Ab  Eb/G  Fm  Bbsus4  Bb    And then end on Eb
A perfect happy ending, that's how.... it.. should be!
