Sturgill Simpson - Hero Chords

[Verse]

  D                            A
Decided to write a song for my hero
A                                 D
Considering he's done so much for me
         Bm                           D
He's the one that pulled me up when I fell down so low
         A                                                     D
He's the one that led me through the darkness when I could not see

      Bm                           D
Never met a man more gentle or any humbler
      Bm                                        A
Never once heard him raise his voice or saw him mad
      Bm                                     D
But I watched him break his back on coal and lumber
G                                A
To give her everything she never had


[Chorus]

Bm                              D
Cause when it all comes down to zero
        A                                 Bm 
There's nothing more this life could ever give
      D                            Bm
And I know I'll never find another hero
G                    A
Not another one like him

D                                 A
Born on a summer day in some dark holler
A                              D
Way back in the hills of Perry County
        Bm                              D
Well he grew up poor and he never saw a dollar
      A                                      G     A
But a dollar ain't no good in a coal camp anyway


[Chorus]

           Bm                        D 
And if I'm half the man he is when I die
        A                                Bm
I don't know if I could ask for too much more
                 D                                Bm
He taught me you only need one hand to count your real friends in this life
                     A                                                   D     Bm  D  Bm G A
But if you find true love you better take both arms and hold on til your sore


[Chorus]

  D                            A
Decided to write a song for my hero
A                                 D
Considering he's done so much for me
