HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO  BONNIE TYLER

KEY OF C


   5    5   5   5    5   5   -5b
Where have all the good men gone 

 5   -5b   5   5   -4   5
and where are all the gods

  -5    -5b   -5b   -5b  -5 -5b -5b
Where's the street wise Her-cul-es 

-5b  5    5   5   -7   5
to fight the ris-ing odds

 -6b   -6b -6b -6b    -6
Isn't there a white knight 

-6b -6b -5 -5  5    -5
 Up-on  a  fi-ery steed

-6b -6b  -6b -6b -6b -6b -6b -6b
Late at night I toss and I turn 

-6  7   7   -6  -6 -6  -6
and I dream of what I need


(CHORUS)

-6 7  -6 -6b -6b
I need a he-ro

-6b -6b  -6b -6b -6b -6b -6b -5
I'm hold-ing out for a   he-ro 

 -5   -5  -5 -5  5   -5
till the end of the night

 -5  -5 -5b -5b  -5b
He's got-ta be strong 

-5b -5b  -5 -5b -5b -5b
and he's got-ta be fast

-5b   5   5   5  5   5    -4   4   -4
And he's got-ta be fresh from the fight

7   7 -6 -6b 7
I need a he-ro

 7    7   7   7  -6 -6b -6b -5
I'm hold-ing out for a   he-ro 

 -5   -5  -5   -5  -5
till the morn-ing light

 -5  -5 -5b -5b -5b
He's got-ta be sure 

 4   4   -5 -5b -5b -5b
and he's got-ta be soon

-5b  -5b  5   5  5  5   -4   4   -4
And he's got-ta be lar-ger than life

7  7  -6 -6b 7
I need a he-ro


VERSE 2 same as 1
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and 
rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman 
to sweep me off my feet

(CHORUS)

-5  -6b   -5  -6b   -5   -6b
Up where the moun-tains meet 

 -5 -6b  -5 -6b  7
the hea-vens a-bove

-5   -6b   -5  -6b   -6b    8    -7  -7
Out where the light-ning splits the sea

-6b -6b   7     7    7  -6   -6
I could swear there is some-one 

 -6    -6    7   -6b -6b
some-where watch-ing me

  -6b   -6b  -6b  -5 -6b  -6b   -5 -6b  7
Through the wind and the chill and the rain

-6b  7    8    -7  7   -7
And the storm and the flood

-6b -6b   7   7  7   -6     -6
 I  can feel his ap-proach like 

-6 -6  -6 -6   7
a fire in my blood

(CHORUS TWICE TO END)

ENJOY!!
