Ella Mae Bowen's cover of "Holding Out For a Hero" (featured in the new movie Footloose)
F#9 C#
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
F#9 C#
Where’s the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
F#9 C#
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
F#9 Ebm
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.
Bbm F#2 C# Ab
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
Bbm F#
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
C# Ab
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
Bbm F#2 C# Ab
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
Bbm F#
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
C# Ab
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
Bbm F# C# Ab
Larger than life.
Bbm F# C# Ab
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
Somewhere just beyond my reach there’s someone reaching back for me.
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!
CHORUS
Ebm
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
F#
out where the lightning splits the sea,
Ebm C#
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.
Ebm
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
F#
and the storm and the raging flood,
Ebm C#
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
Bbm F#2 C# Ab
I'll meet a hero, and then we'll dance 'til the morning light
Bbm F#2
Dreaming he'll lead me
C# Ab
Held tight tonight's the night
CHORUS
Bbm F# C# Ab (repeat to end)
