Nothing But Thieves covering Bonnie Tyler’s Holding Out For A Hero for Vikings Series 2...
capo 3.
[Verse]
Em D
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
C B
Where’s the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Em Bm
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Am Bsus4 B
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.
[Chorus]
Em Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
C
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
G D
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
Em Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
C
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
G D
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
[Verse]
Em D
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
C B
Somewhere just beyond my reach there’s someone reaching back for me.
Em Bm
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Am Bsus4 B
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!
[Chorus]
Em Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
C
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
G D
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
Em Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
C Am7
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
G D
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
[Bridge]
Em
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
C
out where the lightning splits the sea,
Am B Em
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.
Em
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
C
and the storm and the flood,
Am B Em
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
[Chorus]
Em Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
C
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
G D
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
Em Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
C Am7
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
G D
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
