Gb Db/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/F Gb(add2) Db/F Ebm
Or else I'd be a Viking, and live a life of derring
GbMaj7/Bb Ab/C Gbsus2
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship
Db(add2)/F Gbsus2
I'd sail away, I'd see the world
Fm7 Gbsus2
I'd reach the farthest reaches
Db/F Gb(add2) Gb F7/A
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea
Bbm(add2) Bbm Ab(add2)/C Ab/C Gbsus2
And may-be storm some beaches
Db
That's who I'd be, that's who I'd be
Db/F Gb Db/F Ebm7
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/F Gbsus2 Db/F Ebm7
Into the skies I'd throw it, the stars would do the telling
Gb/Bb Ab/C Gbsus2
The moon would help with spelling and night would dot the 'I's
Db(add2)/F Gbsus2
I'd write a verse, recite a joke
Fm7 Gbsus2
With wit and perfect timing
Db(add2)/F Gb(add2) Gb F7/A
I'd share my heart, confess the things I yearn
Bbm Ab/C Gbsus2
And do it all while rhyming
But we all learn, but we all learn
Cbsus2 Gb/Bb
An ogre always hides
Cbsus2 Gb/Bb
An ogre's fate is known
Cbsus2 Gb/Bb
An ogre always stays
Ab/C Cm7 Bbsus4 Bb D
In the dark and all alone
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
G/B G D/F# Em7
Of course, I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower
G/B A/C# A Gsus2
To save a hot-house flower, and carry her away
D(add2)/F# Gsus2 F#m7 Gsus2
But standing guard would be a beast, I'd somehow overwhelm it
D(add2)/F# Gsus2 F#m7
I'd get the girl, I'd take a breath, and I'd remove my helmet
Gsus2 D/F#
We'd stand and stare
Gsus2 D/F#
We'd speak of love
Gsus2 D/F#
We'd feel the stars ascending
Gsus2 D/F#
We'd share a kiss
G F#
I'd find my destiny
Bm(add2) Bm Asus2 A Gsus2
I'd have a he- ro's ending
Bm A Gsus2
A perfect happy ending
That's how it would be
Em7 D/F# Gsus2 A7sus
A big, bright, beautiful world
A7sus
But not for me

Gsus2/B D/A
An ogre always hides
Gsus2/B D/F#
An ogre's fate is known
D/F#
An ogre always stays in the dark

[Donkey]
D/F#
You're all alone

[Shrek & Fiona]
D/F#
All alone!
