Where have all the good men gone and where are (F)all the gods?

Where’s the street wise Her cu les to (A)fight the ris ing (Dsus4)odds?

Is n’t there a white knight up (F)on a fier y steed?

Late at night I toss and I turn and I (D7sus4)dream of what I need.

(D5)(Oh,

(Dm)oh.) I need a (Gm)he ro.

I’m hold ing out for a he ro till the end of the night.

He’s got ta be strong and he’s got ta be fast and he’s (Bb)got ta be fresh from the fight.

I need a (Gm)he ro.

I’m hold ing out for a he ro till the morn ing light.

He’s got ta be sure and it’s got ta be soon and he’s (Bb)got ta be larg er than life, larg er than life.

Some where af ter mid night in my (Bb)wild est fan ta sy,

(Eb)some where just be yond my reach, there’s (Dsus4)some one reach ing back for me.

Rac ing on the thun der and (Dm)ris ing with the heat,

it’s gon na take a su per man to (Dsus4)sweep me off my feet.

Up where the moun tains meet the heav ens a bove,

out where the light ning splits the sea,

I could swear there is some one some where watch ing me.

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

and the storm and the flood,

I can feel his ap proach like a fire in my (Ebm)blood.

(Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood.)

(He ro.)

I need a (Gm)he ro.

I’m hold ing out for a he ro till the morn ing light.

And he’s got ta be sure and it’s got ta be soon and he’s (Bb)got ta be larg er than life.

Oh, he’s got ta be strong and he’s got ta be fast and he’s (Bb)got ta be fresh from the fight.

I need a (Gm)he ro!
