                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
When I was a young boy, I didn’t need much
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
A kind word or two, or a warm touch
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
For what it stands, i got a man
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
With an empty beer bottle and a screaming hand
[chorus]
EYou aEre my Ehero Ex4
BOh Bno, Bno, nBo, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno
EYou aEre my Ehero Ex4
   B      C#   G#   A(bar)
I, don’t, know
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
I try my best, to still have fun
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
Cowboys and Indians, pirates and cap guns
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
For what it stands, i got a man
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
With an empty beer bottle and a screaming hand
[chorus]
EYou aEre my Ehero Ex4
BOh Bno, Bno, nBo, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno, nBo, Bno
EYou aEre my Ehero Ex4
   B      C#   G#   A(bar)
I, don’t, know
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
But that young boy, he’s older now
                             E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
He thought that life was simple, but is finding out
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
He sees how hard things were, for his old man
                    E   F#              G#  A(bar) 
With an empty beer bottle and a screaming hand
E      G#            A
