Intro: Gb Gbsus4 Gb Gbsus2 Gb Gbsus4 Gb Gbsus2
Db/Ab Gb
I guess I’d be a hero
Db/F Ebm
With sword and armor clashing
Gb/Bb Ab/C
Looking semi dashing
Db
A shield within my grip
Db/F Gbadd2
Or else I’d be a Viking
Db/F Ebm
And live a life of daring
Gbmaj7/Bb Ab/C
While smelling like a herring
Gbsus2
Upon a Viking ship
Dbadd2/F
I’d sail away, I’d see the world
Gbsus2 Fm7
I'd reach the farthest reaches
Gbsus2 Db/F Gbadd2 F7/A
I’d feel the wind, I’d taste the salt and sea
Bbm Abadd2/C Ab/C Gbsus2
And may - be storm some beaches
That’s who I’d be
Db
That’s who I’d be
Db/F Gb Db/F Ebm7
Or I could be a poet and write a diff’rent story
Gb/Bb Ab/C Db
One that tells of glory and wipes away the lies
Db/F Gbsus2
Into the skies I’d throw it
Db/F Ebm7
The stars would do the telling
Gb/Bb Ab/C
The moon would help with spelling
And night would dot the “I’s”
Gbsus2 Dbadd2/F
I’d write a verse, recite a joke
Gbsus2 Fm7
With wit and perfect timing
Gbsus2 Dbadd2/F Gbadd2 Gb F7/A
I’d share my heart, confess the things I yearn
Bbm Ab/C Gbsus2
And do it all while rhyming
Gbsus2
But we all learn, but we all learn
Cbsus2 Gb/Bb Cbsus2 Gb/Bb
An ogre always hides, an ogre’s fate is known
Cbsus2 Gb/Bb Ab/C Cm7 Bbsus4 Bb D
An ogre always stays in the dark and all alone
D/F# G D/F# Em7
So yes, I’d be a hero and if my wish were granted
G/B A/C# D
Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say
G/B G D/F# Em7
Of course I’d be a hero, and I would scale a tower
G/B A/C# A
To save a hot-house flower
Gsus2
And carry her away
Dadd2/F#
But standing guard would be a beast
Gsus2 F#m7
I’d somehow overwhelm it
Gsus2 Dadd2/F#
I’d get the girl, I’d take a breath,
Gsus2 F#m7
And I’d remove my helmet
Gsus2 D/F# G/B
We’d stand and stare, we’d speak of love
D/F#
We’d feel the stars ascending
Gsus2 D/F# G F#
We’d share a kiss, I’d find my destiny
Bmadd2 Bm Asus2 A Gsus2
I’d have a he - ro’s end - ing
Bm A Gsus2
A perfect happy end - ing
That’s how it would be!
Em7 D/F# Gsus2
A big bright beautiful world!
A7sus4
But not for me
Fiona:
Gsus2/B D/A
An ogre always hides,
Gsus2 D/F#
An ogre’s fate is known
Fiona(top), Shrek(middle), and Donkey(bottom):
Gsus2/B Aadd2/C# C#m Bsus2 B Eb
An ogre always stays in the dark All alone and I know
An ogre always stays in the dark All alone
You’re all alone_________________________!
