                      Aaron Neville - Hercules
========================================================================
It was very hard to align the words with the chords though the verses and choruses
are all the same throughout so I'm sure you can do your best to follow through an hear
the chord changes yourself.
Otherwise it would look like a pile of mess.
[Verse 1]
G#mAll's Bsus2in feG#mar, iG#ms feF#ar G#mits self
Check our your own back yard before you check out someone else
Railroad track, in my neighborhood
Ain’t no trains around that part just ain’t no good
Wanna know, what’s going down
When the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town
Jungle rule, can’t be no fool
Might get caught by the hook of a crook hog-tied for cool
Look out jay, what you say, what you carrying brother
I hope you’re clean 'cause the man is mean, don’t come another further
[Chorus] (same chord rhythm as verse)
D#m7We all F#knD#m7ow the D#m7answeC#sus2r, will D#m7come out in time
I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine
[Post-Chorus]
G#mThank Bsus2you mG#ma’am, G#mmisF#ter G#mplease
‘Cause I must be Hercules
I must be Hercules
[Verse 2]
G#mLike Bsus2a birdG#m, on G#mthe F#winG#mg
I just wanna be free enough to do my thing
I can feel the pressure, from every side
If you ain’t gonna help, don’t hurt, just pass me by
[Chorus 2]
D#m7No, ohF#-ohD#m7, oh, aD#m7h, ahC#sus2, ahD#m7  
No, no-no, no, no-no, no, no-no, no, ah
[Post-Chorus]

I must be Hercules
[Verse 3]
G#mJunglBsus2e ruleG#m, canG#m’t bF#e nG#mo fool
Devil is on the loose, no coup
Got your feet, in the sand
Got to be down with the cats that around and still got the face the man
Talk about me if you please
But I must be Hercules
Hercules
I must be Hercules
Duckin’ rocks, catchin’ stones
Mutin' how can I survive what’s going on
Beg, steal, or borrow
Somehow I’ve got to make it to tomorrow
Can’t depend, on no one else
Comin’ up the hard way I’ve got to save myself
Must be Hercules
I must be Hercules
Talk about me if you please
I must be Hercules

[Verse 1]

G#m Bsus2 G#m G#m F# G#m

All's in fear, is fear its self

Check our your own back yard before you check out someone else

Railroad track, in my neighborhood

Ain’t no trains around that part just ain’t no good

Wanna know, what’s going down

When the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town

Jungle rule, can’t be no fool

Might get caught by the hook of a crook hog-tied for cool

Look out jay, what you say, what you carrying brother

I hope you’re clean 'cause the man is mean, don’t come another further

[Chorus] (same chord rhythm as verse)

D#m7 F# D#m7 D#m7 C#sus2 D#m7

We all know the answer, will come out in time

I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine

[Post-Chorus]

G#m Bsus2 G#m G#m F# G#m

Thank you ma’am, mister please

‘Cause I must be Hercules

I must be Hercules

[Verse 2]

G#m Bsus2 G#m G#m F# G#m

Like a bird, on the wing

I just wanna be free enough to do my thing

I can feel the pressure, from every side

If you ain’t gonna help, don’t hurt, just pass me by

[Chorus 2]

D#m7 F# D#m7 D#m7 C#sus2 D#m7

No, oh-oh, oh, ah, ah, ah
