@SONG I Can t Be Your Hero Today
By: Jimmy Buffett
1970
(See below for explanation of chord symbols)
[Intro: @ + * @ + * + * ]
[tab]
It s never been the same since you returned from dreamin [/tab]
[tab]
With your nursery rhyme excuses your picture postcards gleamin [/tab]
[tab]
Tellin everyone who looks your way bout people and their sinnin [/tab]
[tab]
While you left field verse is fallin in proportion to your winnin [/tab]
[tab] * + *
And I can t be your hero today[/tab]
[tab] *
I m through with the simple games you play[/tab]
[tab]
It just may take some time for me to even up the score[/tab]
[tab]
But I can t be your soldier home from war[/tab]
And there you sit shouting that there s still hope for us
While nature holds the handcuffs on a Capricorn and Taurus
There s nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp
Go fill up all your savings books and buy yourself a lamp
And I can t be your hero today
Your wholesale price is much to high to pay
A bargain bat atmosphere is no way to sell love
And I can t be your Superman above
[interlude: play intro chords]
No I can t be your hero today
That is all I really want to say
[tab]
Go find a leading man who wants to play[/tab]
[tab]
And I can t be your hero today[/tab]
[repeat and fade: + * + DD + * + ]
