Capo I 
 
INTRO:  E Esus4 E  A (2x) 
      
       E                                Esus4        E            
Don't you like to see the hero take his licks like a man 
                              A6 
Stand up and be tested and be true 
           E                         Esus4          E 
Would you like to be a hero in your life, well you can 
      A                 
Even though it's up to you 
 
 
Would you trade your place with Jesus on the cross if you could 
Shinin through eternity 
Would it bother you to know that you can be just as good 
As you really wanna be 
 
 
And if you're bound to do your duty then it's time that you do 
Look your future in the face 
For the most important person in your life, which is you 
Or the whole damn human race 

          B                         E 
There's a holy band of angels flyin high through the night 
                     A6 
Where no mortal ever trod 
        B                  E                 Esus4  E 
Singin holy holy holy holy-oh Jesus Christ 
        A            E 
Is the Lord Almighty God 
 
(Spoken) 
 
You see the good thing is 
You don't have to be as good as Jesus to start out with 
All you gotta do is ask yourself, how would Gary cooper have done it 
Or John Kennedy, or Martin Luther King, or Malcolm X 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 E         A     E         A      E        A    E    B 
(Holy holy holy, holy holy holy, holy holy holy holy-oh 
B          A     B        A       B       A     B   E 
Holy holy holy, holy holy holy, holy holy holy holy-oh) 
 
 
NOTE: I didn't put in all the Esus4 chords...it's sort of a riff he does... 
use your best judgement.
