Shrek  
G                   C                           Am 
I thought I'd be a hero, With sword and armour clashing 
             D                            G 
Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip  

                 C                       Am 
Or else I'd be a Viking, live a life of daring  

                      D                      G 
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.  


Em        C                    G                   D                
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches  

Em              C                D 
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea.  

    G     D           C 
And maybe storm some beaches.  

                C               G 
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be.  



Em             C       G                D 
And Ogre always hides, an Ogre's fate is known  

Em          C                             D 
And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone  


   
G                   C                    Am 
So yes I'd be a hero and if my wish was granted  

                 D                            G 
My life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.  
  
                      C                       Am 
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower  

                      D                      G 
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away  



              Em                C                    D 
But standing guard there'd be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it,  

Em           C                D            G   D        C 
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet.  

              Em                C                    D 
We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars ascending  

Em           C                D              G      D        C 
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny, I'd have a hero's ending,  
  
  G        D     C 
a perfect happy ending.  

               G 
That's how it would be  

C             G       D 
A big bright beautiful world  

             G 
But not for me.
