Heroes – by David Bowie

D G (2x)
D G
I, I wish you could swim
D G
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
C D
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
Am Em D
We can beat them, for ever and ever
C G D
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
D G (2x)
D G
I, I will be king
D G
And you, you will be queen
C D
Though nothing will drive them away
Am Em D
We can be Heroes, just for one day
C G D
We can be us, just for one day
D G
I, I can remember (I remember)
D G
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
D G
And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
D G
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
C D
And the shame was on the other side
Am Em D
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
C G D
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
