Intro: Gb/Bb, Gb4/B, Gb2/Ab (2x) end with Db
Shrek
Db Gb Gb/F Ebm
I guess I'd be a hero, With sword and armor clashing
Gb/Bb Ab/C Db
Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip
Db Db/F Gb Gb/F Ebm
Or else I'd be a Viking and live a life of daring
Gb/Bb Ab/C Gb2
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.
Db2/F Gb2 Fm7
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches
Gb2 Db2/F Gb2 F/A
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea.
Bbm Ab/C Gb
And maybe storm some beaches.
Gb2 Db
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be.
Db Gb Gb/F Ebm
Or I could be a poet and write a different story,
Gb/Bb Ab/C Db
One that tells of glory, and wipes away the lies
Db Db/F Gb Gb/F Ebm
And to the skies I'd throw it, the stars would do the telling
Gb/Bb Ab/C Gb2
The moon would help with spelling, and night would dot the 'I's
Db2/F Gb2 Fm7
I'd write a verse, Recite a joke, with wit and perfect timing.
Gb2 Db2/F Gb2 F/A Bbm Ab/C Gb
I'd share my heart, confess the things I yearn, and do it all while rhyming.
Gb
But we all learn. But we all learn.
Db2 Ab2/C
And Ogre always hides,
Db2 Ab2/C
an Ogre's fate is known
Db2 Cm Bbsus4 Bb
And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone
D D/F# G D/F# Em
So yes I'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted
G/B A/C# D
Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.
D D/F# G D/F# Em
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower
G/B A/C# D
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away
G2 D2/F# G2 F#m
But standing guard would be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it,
G2 D2/F# G2 F#m
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet.
G2 D2/F# G2 F#m
We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars ascending
G D2/F# G2 F#
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny
Bm A2 G Bm A
I'd have a hero's ending, a perfect happy ending.
G
That's how it would be
Em D/F# G
A big bright beautiful world
A
But not for me.
Fiona
G2/B D/A G D/F# G/B A/C#
An ogre always hides. An ogres fate is known. An ogre always stays in the dark

All Alone (All at the same time)

There are rules and there are strictures. I believe the story books i read by candle light

Don't let me go, Don't let me go, Don't let me go
All
Cm Bb/D Ab2 Cm/G Fm Bb2 Bb Eb Eb/G Ab Eb/G Fm Bbsus4 Bb And then end on Eb
A perfect happy ending, that's how.... it.. should be!
