Capo on 2
Shrek
G C Am
I thought I'd be a hero, With sword and armour clashing
D G
Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip
C Am
Or else I'd be a Viking, live a life of daring
D G
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.
Em C G D
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches
Em C D
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea.
G D C
And maybe storm some beaches.
C G
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be.
Em C G D
And Ogre always hides, an Ogre's fate is known
Em C D
And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone
G C Am
So yes I'd be a hero and if my wish was granted
D G
My life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.
C Am
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower
D G
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away
Em C D
But standing guard there'd be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it,
Em C D G D C
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet.
Em C D
We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars ascending
Em C D G D C
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny, I'd have a hero's ending,
G D C
a perfect happy ending.
G
That's how it would be
C G D
A big bright beautiful world
G
But not for me.
