@SONG I Can't Be Your Hero Today
By: Jimmy Buffett
1970

(See below for explanation of chord symbols)

[Intro: D@ D+ D* D D@ D+ D* D+ D* D]

D G
It's never been the same since you returned from dreamin'
A D
With your nursery rhyme excuses your picture postcards gleamin'
Bm G
Tellin' everyone who looks your way 'bout people and their sinnin'
E A
While you left field verse is fallin' in proportion to your winnin'

D D* D+ D*
And I can't be your hero today
D D* A
I'm through with the simple games you play
G D E A
It just may take some time for me to even up the score
G A D
But I can't be your soldier home from war

And there you sit shouting that there's still hope for us
While nature holds the handcuffs on a Capricorn and Taurus
There's nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp
Go fill up all your savings books and buy yourself a lamp

And I can't be your hero today
Your wholesale price is much to high to pay
A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love
And I can't be your Superman above

[interlude: play intro chords]

No I can't be your hero today
That is all I really want to say
G A
Go find a leading man who wants to play
G A D
And I can't be your hero today

[repeat and fade: D D D+ D* D+ DD D+ D* D+ D]
