3/4 TIMING  110 BPM

[INTRO]                
[VERSE 1]  
C            F    C
Where is our hero tonight?
C                                             G
The bars are all booming and he's nowhere in sight
C                                   F       Fm
Wherever he is Lord, we hope he's alright
C            G      C        G
Where is our hero tonight?
[VERSE 2]
C             F           C
He used to be king of the bars
C                                        G
He's opened and closed them from Waco to Mars
       C                                          F   C
Now he sings on the streets and he sleeps in his car
         G                    C      G
But he used to be king of the bars.
[VERSE 3]

Where is our hero tonight?
C                                        G
He left here a-sailing, he was high as a kite
C                                      F       Fm
Feeling kinda sorry, and looking for a fight
C            G      C        G
Where is our hero tonight?

Where is our hero today?
C                                         G
Can we just tag along, we'll stay out his way.
        C                                          F    Fm
Does he still write the sad songs and can he still play
C            G      C      G
Where is our hero today?

C            F        C

The bars are all booming  And he's nowhere in sight

Wherever he is Lord, we hope he's alright
