Capo 1 
 
Am 
Where have all the good men gone 
    G 
And where are all the gods? 
Am 
Where's the street-wise Hercules 
    C 
To fight the rising odds? 
Am                           G 
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? 
 F                                   G 
Late at night I toss and turn and dream 
            (G let ring) 
of what I need 


[Refrão]

         Am        F 
I need a hero 
                      C                        G 
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night 
              Am 
He's gotta be strong 
                 F 
And he's gotta be fast 
        C                       G 
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight 
        Am      F 
I need a hero 
                   C                         G 
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light 
              Am 
He's gotta be sure 
                  F 
And it's gotta be soon 
                C             G (Let Ring) 
And he's gotta be larger than life 

larger then life 

Am, F, C, G x2 FOR 
Do do do do do do do do do do 
Do do do do do do 

Am 
Somewhere after midnight 
      F 
In my wildest fantasy 
Am 
Somewhere just beyond my reach 
        G 
There's someone reaching back for me 
Am                        G 
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat 
F                                          (C) 
Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet?

(Am) 
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above 
G 
Out where the lightning splits the sea 
   Am 
I could swear that there's someone, somewhere 
C        (Am) 
Watching me 
F 
Through the wind and the chill and the rain 
G 
And the storm and the raging flood 
C              G 
I can feel his approach 
        C           G 
just Like the fire in my blood 

          Am 
Ill meet a hero 
    F          C                  G 
And then we'll dance till morning light 
          C 
Dreaming he'll leave me, 
      F                  G 
He'll die tonight's the night
