As recorded by Bobby Bare (From the 1978 Album BARE) [Intro] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 1]
    G
She smiled and said, "If you are who I think you are

                   Cadd9    G  Cadd9
I'd really like to meet you."

  D                                              D7
I laughed and said, "If you are what I think you are

                     G
I'd like to meet you too."
[Verse 2]
G
She said, "You've taught me lots of things

                                              Cadd9
But I'll bet there's some things that I could teach you

               D
And though you don't know me

  D7        G
I sure know you."
[Chorus]
        Cadd9                G
"'Cause you are my childhood hero.", she said

   D7                     G
"I got all your records I know all your songs

    Cadd9                     G
And I got your picture tacked over my bed

        Cadd9                   G
And you know I once wrote you a letter.", she said

     Cadd9                  G              E
"And I don't believe that a night that was spent

     A                       D                  G
By a girl with her childhood hero could ever be wrong."
[Verse 3]
G
"A thousand songs, a hundred poems

                                   Cadd9
And a half, half a fifth of Chivas Regal

         D
While my picture on the wall looked down

                    D7             G
And winked at me as if the bastard knew."
[Verse 4]
G
And he listened as she whispered,"Hold me close

                          Cadd9
So I can dream about this later

               D
When you've forgotten me

              G    G7
I'll remember you."
[Chorus]
        Cadd9                G
"'Cause you are my childhood hero.", she said

   D7                     G
"I got all your records I know all your songs

    Cadd9                     G
And I got your picture tacked over my bed

        Cadd9                   G
And you know I once wrote you a letter.", she said

     Cadd9                  G              E
"And I don't believe that a night that was spent

     A                       D7                 G
By a girl with her childhood hero could ever be wrong."
