Intro:
Gb/Bb, Gb4/B, Gb2/Ab X2 end with Db
Shrek
DbGbGb/FEbm
I guess I'd be a hero, With sword and armor clashing
Gb/BbAb/CDb
Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip
DbDb/FGbGb/FEbm
Or else I'd be a Viking and live a life of daring
Gb/BbAb/CGb2
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.
Db2/FGb2Fm7
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches
Gb2Db2/FGb2F/A
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea.
BbmAb/CGb
And maybe storm some beaches.
Gb2Db
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be.
DbGbGb/FEbm
Or I could be a poet and write a different story,
Gb/BbAb/CDb
One that tells of glory, and wipes away the lies
DbDb/FGbGb/FEbm
And to the skies I'd throw it, the stars would do the telling
Gb/BbAb/CGb2
The moon would help with spelling, and night would dot the 'I's
Db2/FGb2Fm7
I'd write a Verse, Recite a joke, with wit and perfect timing.
Gb2Db2/FGb2F/ABbmAb/CGb
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.
Db2Ab2/C
And Ogre always hides,
Db2Ab2/C
an Ogre's fate is known
Db2CmBbsus4Bb
And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone
DD/GbGD/GbEm
So yes I'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted
G/BA/DbD
Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.
DD/GbGD/GbEm
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower
G/BA/DbD
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away
G2D2/GbG2Gbm
But standing guard would be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it,
G2D2/GbG2Gbm
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet.
G2D2/GbG2Gbm
We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars ascending
GD2/GbG2Gb
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny
BmA2GBmA
I'd have a hero's Ending, a perfect happy Ending.
G
That's how it would be
EmD/GbGA big bright beautiful world
A
But not for me.
Fiona
G2/BD/AGD/GbG/BA/Db
An ogre always hides. An ogres fate is known. An ogre always stays in the dark
Dbm
All Alone All at the same time
Shrek
Eb EB/GAbEb/GFmAb/EbBb/DEb
So yes i'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted my life would be enchanted or so the stories say.
EbEb/GAbEb/GFmBbAb2
