[Verse 1]
C Am7 Em F Heroes and heroines, are scarcer than they've ever been C Am7 F G So much more to lose than win, the distance never greater C Am7 Em Way back when you made history, by flying planes F across the sea C Am7 F G C C Embarking on your odyssey, you put away the danger
[Chorus 1]
F Em F Heaven bless the one who flys Am7 G F A pioneer on frontier skies Em Am The world was dark and your only mark D G G Was the light of the northern star F Em F I imagine what was in your eyes Am G F The seeds of rust and days gone by Em Am Your wings hang in a gallery sky F G C I wonder how you're flyin’
[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
C Am7 Way out on the western plains Em F Snow drifts high and dust wind burns C Am7 The chinooks blow their winds, F G G Across the mountains C Am7 A life that's never safe and dry Em F Rodeos, ridin’ high C Am7 F G Women and their men get by on six guns and white C lightnin’
[Chorus 2]
F Em F Heaven bless them on the road, Am7 G F Drifters and their dreams of gold C Am7 D The world was wide and a cowboy's soul could span G the whole horizon F Em F Imagine what was in your eyes, Em F the dust and dirt under outlaw skies C Am7 A piece of land and a stubborn mind F G C Were the only things worth havin’

[Verse 3]
C Am7 Now they say the moon is dust and ash Em F California’s made of cash C Am7 We’re waiting for those hills to crash F G C G Into the sparkling waters C Am7 Rain and snow and sun and wind Em F You roamed the earth and you spread your wings C Am7 F G Long ago my hero's dreams belonged to all God's C creatures
[Chorus 2]
F Em F Heaven bless the ones who sleep Am7 G F The ones who laugh, and the ones who weep Em Am7 Heaven bless the ones who keep, D G G Their bearings strong and certain. F Em F Lord help the fool who said, Am7 G F You'd better quit while you're ahead Em Am7 A dreamer born is a hero bred F G C on earth and up in heaven. F Em F Lord help the fool who said, Am7 G F You'd better quit while you're ahead, Em Am7 Dreamers born are heroes bred F G C on earth and up in heaven.
