@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]
