C 
All because I walk a different street 


And not helloed by some I meet 

           G7                     C 
That don't mean that what I do is right 


Those that said that I was wrong 


Now say they knew it all along 

      G7                    C 
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike 


C7 
I'll be a hero when I strike 

     F                   C 
Come up tight and out of sight 

        F 
They'll say I'm dynamite 

    C 
And they'd like to be there when I light 

      G7                    C 
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike 



I love God and the flag 


And I ain't the kind to stand and brag 

        G7                             C 
And I'm the kind to stand right up and fight 


Don't need a uniform to wear 


To make the people stop and stare 

      G7                         C 
Cause Hoss I'll be a hero when I strike 


C7 
I'll be a hero when I strike 

     F                   C 
Come up tight and out of sight 

        F 
They'll say I'm dynamite 

    C 
And they'd like to be there when I light 

      G7                    C 
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike 



Won't shake hands until I'm sore 


Wear medals hangin' to the floor 

        G7                              C 
They'll throw rocks at Franklin and his kind 


They'll say boy ain't that cowboy hot 


There ain't nothin' he ain't got 

    G7                         C 
But I'm gonna be a hero when I strike 


C7 
I'll be a hero when I strike 

     F                   C 
Come up tight and out of sight 

        F 
They'll say I'm dynamite 

    C 
And they'd like to be there when I light 

      G7                    C 
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike
