Chords

C
All because I walk a different street

And not helloed by some I meet

           G7                     C
That don't mean that what I do is right

Those that said that I was wrong Now say they knew it all along

      G7                    C
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike

C7
I'll be a hero when I strike

     F                   C
Come up tight and out of sight

        F
They'll say I'm dynamite

    C
And they'd like to be there when I light

      G7                    C
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike

I love God and the flag And I ain't the kind to stand and brag

        G7                             C
And I'm the kind to stand right up and fight

Don't need a uniform to wear To make the people stop and stare

      G7                         C
Cause Hoss I'll be a hero when I strike

C7
I'll be a hero when I strike

     F                   C
Come up tight and out of sight

        F
They'll say I'm dynamite

    C
And they'd like to be there when I light

      G7                    C
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike

Won't shake hands until I'm sore Wear medals hangin' to the floor

        G7                              C
They'll throw rocks at Franklin and his kind

They'll say boy ain't that cowboy hot There ain't nothin' he ain't got

    G7                         C
But I'm gonna be a hero when I strike

C7
I'll be a hero when I strike

     F                   C
Come up tight and out of sight

        F
They'll say I'm dynamite

    C
And they'd like to be there when I light

      G7                    C
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike
