THIS IS NOT- I repeat, NOT- the tab for the hardstyle portion of the song However, these are the chords 
The chord progression stays the same for pretty much the whole song except the outro (Em-G-D-A).
Key of D (original key, no capo)
INTRO:
EmHero, hero
GHero, hero
DHero, hero
AI wanna be a hero, hero
VERSE:
Oh the Emhero comes
I can hear the drums
And the Ghorse is drawn
To the kingdom come
Through the Dpale moonlight
Our hearts ignite to the Acall
EmClaim your prize
For a crown of stars
In the Gname of love
Be the sacrifice
You and DI will stand and fight,
Our backs to the Awall
EmHero, hero
GHero, hero
DHero, hero
I wanna be a Ahero, hero
VERSE 2:
EmNo escape
Let the fever rise
As our Ghorses rage
And it burns inside
Maybe DI'm the one
I'm the one who will Afall
EmLay me down
On a bed of stone
I will Gwait for you
As I rest my soul
I will Dwatch you ride
When you reply to the Acall
EmHero, hero
GHero, hero
DHero, hero
I wanna be a Ahero, hero
INTERLUDE:
G   Em   G   D
BRIDGE:
GShut your eyes
Shut your eyes
EmDon't be scared
Shut your eyes
GWatch those lights
From the stars
DIn your head
Hypnotized
G        Em
GJoin the fight for what's right
DLet your heart be your guide
GHero, hero
EmHero, hero
GHero, hero
DHero, hero
