Hero

All credit for this one should be given to clundy13.
I simply added the rest of the choruses.


Verse I:

 D MajorD              A augmentedA
Decided to write a song for my hero
A augmentedA                 D MajorD
Considering he's done so much for me
     B minorBm              D MajorD
He's the one that pulled me up when I fell down so low
     A augmentedA                           D MajorD
He's the one that led me through the darkness when I could not see

   B minorBm              D MajorD
Never met a man more gentle or any humbler
   B minorBm                    A augmentedA
Never once heard him raise his voice or saw him mad
   B minorBm                   D MajorD
But I watched him break his back on coal and lumber
G+G                A augmentedA
To give her everything she never had

Chorus:

B minorBm               D MajorD
Cause when it all comes down to zero
    A augmentedA                 B minorBm
There's nothing more this life could ever give
   D MajorD              B minorBm
And I know I'll never find another hero
G+G          A augmentedA
Not another one like him

D MajorD                 A augmentedA
Born on a summer day in some dark holler
A augmentedA               D MajorD
Way back in the hills of Perry County
    B minorBm               D MajorD
Well he grew up poor and he never saw a dollar
   A augmentedA                   G+G   A augmentedA
But a dollar ain't no good in a coal camp anyway


Chorus:

B minorBm               D MajorD
Cause when it all comes down to zero
    A augmentedA                 B minorBm
There's nothing more this life could ever give
   D MajorD              B minorBm
And I know I'll never find another hero
G+G          A augmentedA
Not another one like him

Verse II:

      B minorBm            D MajorD
And if I'm half the man he is when I die
    A augmentedA                B minorBm
I don't know if I could ask for too much more
         D MajorD                B minorBm
He taught me you only need one hand to count your real friends in this life
           A augmentedA                          D MajorD   B minorBm D MajorD B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
But if you find true love you better take both arms and hold on til your sore


Chorus:

B minorBm               D MajorD
Cause when it all comes down to zero
    A augmentedA                 B minorBm
There's nothing more this life could ever give
   D MajorD              B minorBm
And I know I'll never find another hero
G+G          A augmentedA
Not another one like him


Outro:

 D MajorD              A augmentedA
Decided to write a song for my hero
A augmentedA                 D MajorD
Considering he's done so much for me
