[Intro]
 
Em D C B Em
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em                                 
Where have all the 

good men gone and 
B
where are all the gods?
C                     
Where’s the street-wise 
            B
Hercules to 

fight the rising odds?
Em                        
Isn’t there a white knight 
 Bm
upon a fiery steed?
C                               
Late at night I toss and turn and 
 B
I dream of what I need.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         Em              
I need a hero, I’m holding
           D
 out for a hero 

‘til the end of the night,
     C
He’s gotta be strong and 

he’s gotta be fast,
         G       
And he’s gotta be 
              D
fresh from the fight.
         Em               
I need a hero, I’m holding  
         D
out for a hero  

‘til the morning light,
     C
He’s gotta be sure, and 

it’s gotta be soon,
         B
And he’s gotta be larger than life
            Em
Larger than life.
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em                        
Somewhere after midnight in 
   B
my wildest fantasy, 
C                             
Somewhere just beyond my reach 
       B
there’s someone reaching back for me. 
Em                       
Racing on the thunder and 
 Bm
rising with the heat
C                            B
It’s gonna take a superman to 

sweep me off my feet, yeah!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         Em               
I need a hero, I’m holding 
          D
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               
I need a hero, I’m holding  
          D
out for a hero 

‘til the morning light,
     C
He’s gotta be sure, and 

it’s gotta be soon,
         B
And he’s gotta be larger than life
            Em
Larger than life.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em
Up where the mountains meet 

the heavens above,
D
out where the lightning splits the sea,
C                     B        
I could swear there is someone 
         Em
somewhere watching me.
Em
Through the wind and the 

chill and the rain,
D
and the storm and the flood,
C                B         
I can feel his approach like
               Em
 the fire in my blood
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         Em                          D
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,
         B
And he’s gotta be 

fresh from the fight.
         Em              
I need a hero, I’m holding 
          D
out for a hero 

‘til the morning light,
     C
He’s gotta be sure, and 

it’s gotta be soon,
         B
And he’s gotta be larger than life
 
 
[Chorus]

 
         Em                          D
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               
I need a hero, I’m holding 
          D
out for a hero 

‘til the morning light,
     C
He’s gotta be sure, and 

it’s gotta be soon,
         B
And he’s gotta be larger than life
            Em
Larger than life.
