GCAm
I thought I'd be a hero, With sword and armour clashing
DG
Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip
CAm
Or else I'd be a Viking, live a life of daring
DG
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.
EmCGD
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches
EmCD
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea.
GDC
And maybe storm some beaches.
CG
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be.
EmCGD
And Ogre always hides, an Ogre's fate is known
EmCD
And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone
GCAm
So yes I'd be a hero and if my wish was granted
DG
My life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.
CAm
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower
DG
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away
EmCD
But standing guard there'd be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it,
EmCDGDC
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet.
EmCD
We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars ascending
EmCDGDC
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny, I'd have a hero's Ending,
GDC
a perfect happy Ending.
G
That's how it would be
CGDA big bright beautiful world
G
But not for me.
