@SONG I Can't Be Your Hero Today

By: Jimmy Buffett

1970

(See below for explanation of chord symbols)

[Intro:  D@ D+ D* D   D@ D+ D* D+ D* D]

     D                         G

It's never been the same since you returned from dreamin'

          A                          D

With your nursery rhyme excuses your picture postcards gleamin'

        Bm                                G

Tellin' everyone who looks your way 'bout people and their sinnin'

          E                                 A

While you left field verse is fallin' in proportion to your winnin'

      D             D*     D+ D*

And I can't be your hero today

    D                D*               A

I'm through with the simple games you play

   G                  D              E           A

It just may take some time for me to even up the score

      G             A                 D

But I can't be your soldier home from war

  

And there you sit shouting that there's still hope for us

While nature holds the handcuffs on a Capricorn and Taurus

There's nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp

Go fill up all your savings books and buy yourself a lamp

  

And I can't be your hero today

Your wholesale price is much to high to pay

A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love

And I can't be your Superman above

[interlude: play intro chords]

No I can't be your hero today

That is all I really want to say

   G                               A

Go find a leading man who wants to play

      G             A      D

And I can't be your hero today

[repeat and fade: D D D+ D* D+   DD D+ D* D+ D]
