Am Where have all the good men gone G And where are all the gods? Am Where's the street-wise Hercules C To fight the rising odds? Am G Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? F G Late at night I toss and turn and dream ( G let ring) of what I need Chorus: Am F I need a hero C G I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night Am He's gotta be strong F And he's gotta be fast C G And he's gotta be fresh from the fight Am F I need a hero C G I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light Am He's gotta be sure F And it's gotta be soon C G (Let Ring) And he's gotta be larger than life larger then life Am F C G (x2) Do do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do Am Somewhere after midnight F In my wildest fantasy Am Somewhere just beyond my reach G There's someone reaching back for me Am G Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat F ( C ) Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet? Chorus: Am F I need a hero C G I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night Am He's gotta be strong F And he's gotta be fast C G And he's gotta be fresh from the fight Am F I need a hero C G I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light Am He's gotta be sure F And it's gotta be soon C G (Let Ring) And he's gotta be larger than life larger then life ( F / Am ) Up where the mountains meet the heavens above G Out where the lightning splits the sea Am I could swear that there's someone, somewhere C (Am ) Watching me F Through the wind and the chill and the rain G And the storm and the raging flood C G I can feel his approach C G just Like the fire in my blood Am Ill meet a hero F C G And then we'll dance till morning light C Dreaming he'll leave me, F G He'll die tonight's the night Chorus: Am F I need a hero C G I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night Am He's gotta be strong F And he's gotta be fast C G And he's gotta be fresh from the fight Am F I need a hero C G I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light Am He's gotta be sure F And it's gotta be soon C G (Let Ring) And he's gotta be larger than life larger then life.

What is the strumming pattern?
I think it should be F instead of Am on ‘where’s the street wise Hercules…’
Same in the 2nd verse on ‘somewhere just beyond my reach…’
Feel the same on this line in the bridge too: ‘I could swear that there’s someone, somewhere’ sounds better with F than Am!
Strumming with DU UDU
Yeah theyre definitely the words pls can this be fixed
Right before the last chorus, the lyrics should be {” I’ll meet a hero, and then well dance till the morning light dreaming he’ll lead me, held tight tonight’s the night”} not “dreaming he’ll leave me he’ll die tonight’s the night’m
