Nickelback - Hero4 guitar tab

Hero by Nickelback and Saliva

The beginning, simple chords

Strums and the like aren't hard to figure out, only a simple 4/4 song.

Tuning:  Standard, tuned down 2 whole steps I believe.

Fig. 1 (Verse)

I'm so high, I can hear heaven... rep. x2

Am                            F

Fig. 2 (Pre-Chorus)

But heaven don't hear me...(interesting how the melody just changes)

Fig. 3 (Chorus) I

And they say that a hero can save us, I'm not gonna stand here & wait.

(begin the chorus w/the F chord from the pre chorus)

F ----------------> G#                A#                         B#

Fig. 3 (Chorus) II

I'll hold onto the wings of the angels and watch as they all fly away.

1st chorus:  End at the F, Others:  Go back to Fig. 3 (I)

After the second chorus, there's  a fingerpicked part which is

basically the chorus.  Here goes...

Fig. 4 (Interlude)

I don't know the lyrics, keep in mind that I made this from an Mp3

and the few times I've seen the video.

_4_______4-6-4_________6_______6-8-6________8______8-10-8______________

___4___________4_________6__________6________8___________8_____________

____5____________5_________7__________7_______9___________9____________

6_____6____________6__8______8_________8__10____10_________10__________

_______________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

Now, the whole outro plays both variations of the choruses, ending at

chorus II, with the F chord.  

Well, that's my tab of Nickelback's Hero from the Spiderman soundtrack.

It's not flawless, but it's the basic idea.  It looks weird, but I'm

confident that I'm right on most of the chords.
