Heroes And Heroines
Capo 1
[Intro]
C C
[Verse 1]
C Am7 Em F
Heroes and heroines, are scarcer than they've ever been
C Am7 F G
So much more to lose than win, the distance never greater
C Am7 Em
Way back when you made history, by flying planes
F
across the sea
C Am7 F G C C
Embarking on your odyssey, you put away the danger
[Chorus 1]
F Em F
Heaven bless the one who flys
Am7 G F
A pioneer on frontier skies
Em Am
The world was dark and your only mark
D G G
Was the light of the northern star
F Em F
I imagine what was in your eyes
Am G F
The seeds of rust and days gone by
Em Am
Your wings hang in a gallery sky
F G C
I wonder how you're flyin’
[Interlude 1]
|Am7///|Em///|F/G/|C
[Verse 2]
C Am7
Way out on the western plains
Em F
Snow drifts high and dust wind burns
C Am7
The chinooks blow their winds,
F G G
Across the mountains
C Am7
A life that's never safe and dry
Em F
Rodeos, ridin’ high
C Am7 F G
Women and their men get by on six guns and white
C
lightnin’
[Chorus 2]
F Em F
Heaven bless them on the road,
Am7 G F
Drifters and their dreams of gold
C Am7 D
The world was wide and a cowboy's soul could span
