Intro:
D   C G    D    C G

            G
You are my hero
            C  G 
You are my heroine 
                 G
I followed your dusty trail 
                   C      G
Back to where this all began 

     C
Back to the time 
                 G
Before I knew I was a fool
          C 
'Til the night I saw my star 
         G
Like a flashing jewel 
         D
And the way I chose 
     C            G
Was not my own invention 
              D
But it was ignorance 
 C            G   
more than pretention 


You are my hero 
You are my heroine 
I followed you way downtown 
To steal your fountain pen 
But there were myths 
And there were facts which I mistook 
And everyone who gets drunk 
Will not write a good book
