KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - The Hero guitar chord

The Hero--Kris Kristofferson

written by K. Kristofferson

Corrections welcome.

Capo I

INTRO: E Esus4 E A (2x)

E Esus4 E

Don't you like to see the hero take his licks like a man

A6

Stand up and be tested and be true

E Esus4 E

Would you like to be a hero in your life, well you can

A

Even though it's up to you

Would you trade your place with Jesus on the cross if you could

Shinin through eternity

Would it bother you to know that you can be just as good

As you really wanna be

And if you're bound to do your duty then it's time that you do

Look your future in the face

For the most important person in your life, which is you

Or the whole damn human race

CHORUS:

B E

There's a holy band of angels flyin high through the night

A6

Where no mortal ever trod

B E Esus4 E

Singin holy holy holy holy-oh Jesus Christ

A E

Is the Lord Almighty God

(Spoken)

You see the good thing is

You don't have to be as good as Jesus to start out with

All you gotta do is ask yourself, how would Gary cooper have done it

Or John Kennedy, or Martin Luther King, or Malcolm X

CHORUS

E A E A E A E B

(Holy holy holy, holy holy holy, holy holy holy holy-oh

B A B A B A B E

Holy holy holy, holy holy holy, holy holy holy holy-oh)

NOTE: I didn't put in all the Esus4 chords...it's sort of a riff he does...
