Misc Cartoons – Hercules - One Last Hope (Guitar)

G        B7         Cmaj7
  So, ya wanna be a hero, kid?

      Am7          D9
Well, whoop-de-do!

       Dm7             Cmaj7
I have been around the block before

     Bb                   G
With blockheads just like you

         D          Cmaj7
Each and everyone a disappointment

Am7                  Dm7
Pain for which there ain't no ointment

Csus2               G7
So much for excuses though a kid of Zeus is

C            Am7           D9
Asking me to jump into the fray

Dm7       E7     G7
My answer is two words:

C     D7 G
Okay

C     D7 G
Oh-oh.

C     D7 G
You win

C     D7 G
Oh gods

C     D7 G
Oy vay

C             D7           G          C    D7   G
 I'd given up hope that someone would come along

C                D7       G
  A fellow who'd ring the bell for once

Gm7     C7
Not the gong

Dm      E7          Am7   C7
  The kind who wins trophies

Dm         E7      Am7   C7
  Won't settle for low fees

Dm       E7     Am7     D7
  At least semi-pro fees

    D7
But no,

G7
I get the greenhorn

C                 D7     G          C       D7  G
 I've been out to pasture pal, my ambition gone

C                 D7   G           Gm       C7
 Content to spend lazy days and to graze my lawn

Dm       E7        Am7  C7
 But you need an advisor

Dm    E7      Am7  C7
 A satyr, but wiser

Dm     E7      Am7  C7
 A good merchandiser

D7
 And woh!

G7             A7
 There goes my ulcer!

D    Bm7     Em7    A7
 I'm down to one last hope

      D   Bm7   Em7 A7
And I hope it's you

D        Bm7         Em7     A7
 Though, kid, you're not exactly

  Am7        D7
A dream come true

Em         F#7       Bm7   D7
 I've trained enough turkeys

Em     F#7      Bm7    E7
 Who never came through

Em
 You're my one last hope

A7                 D   G7
 So you'll have to do

F13
Demigods have faced the odds

C6
And ended up a mockery

F13               D7
Don't believe the stories

         G7      Am7     Bbm7
That you read on all the crockery

C             D7    G         C     D7   G
 To be a true hero, kid, is a dying art

C                D7    G7            C   Dm      C7
 Like painting a masterpiece, it's a work of heart

Dm      E7          Am   C7
 It takes more than sinew

Dm     E7             Am    C7
 Comes down to what's in you

Dm    E7        Am7   D7
 You have to continue to grow

G7
Now that's more like it!

D    Bm7     Em7      A7          D   Bm7   Em7   A7
 I'm down to one last shot and my last high note

D  Bm7       Em7       A7
 Before that blasted underworld

D7
Gets my goat

Em        F#7     Bm7  D7
 My dreams are on you, kid

Em      F#7       Bm7  E
 Go make 'em come true

Em7              A7
Climb that uphil slope

     Em7              A7
Keep pushing that envelope

Em7                    A7
You're my one last hope

Bm7       A7   G  A7 D
And, kid, it's up to you
