[Intro]

C F C F C F C F
[Verse 1]
C F
And to me everyone of them was a hero
C F
Standing in the cold, cold morning light
Dm G
Every single one of them was a hero
Dm G
Standing up for their rights
[Verse 2]
C F
And don't let nobody tell you no different
C F
No newspaper phoney or friend
Dm G
'Cause when the book has finally been written
Dm G Am
You know the Heroes always beat the villains in the end
[Chorus]
F C
With head held high and proud
F C
Stand up and sing it loud
F Am
No tin-pot tyrant, no self-made giant
Dm C F C F
Nothing's gonna stop us now
[Verse 3]
C F
And the traitors whose heads were turned
C F
And whose loyalties were misplaced
Dm G
Don't have to say one single word
Dm G
'Cause it's written all over their face
[Verse 4]
C F
And the leader will come in the last
C F
And the last will win the race
Dm G
And the order will all be changing
Dm G Am
When the Heroes finally take their rightful place
[Chorus]
F C
With head held high and proud
F C
Stand up and sing it loud
F Am
No tin-pot tyrant, no crack-pot giant
Dm C F C F
Nothing's gonna stop us now
[Instrumental]
C F C F C F C F
[Verse 5]
C F
One swallow don't make a summer
C F
One battle don't win no war
Dm G
One roll by the drummer
Dm G
Will soon settle the score
[Verse 6]
C F
And the Heroes will come out fighting
C F
Like they've always done
Dm G
Shoulder to shoulder together
Dm G Am
Line by line 'till the final victory is won
[Chorus]
F C
With head held high and proud
F C
Stand up and sing it loud
F Am
No tin-pot tyrant, no self-made giant
Dm
Nothing's gonna stop us
[Chorus]
F C
Head held high and proud
F C
Stand up and sing it loud
F Am
No tin-pot tyrant, no crack-pot giant
Dm C F C F
Nothing's gonna stop us now
