Hero Sturgill Simpson
(Verse)
De[D]cided to write a song for my [A]hero
[A]Considering he's done so much for [D]me
He's the [Bm]one that pulled me up when I [D]fell down so low
He's the [A]one that led me through the darkness when I could not [D]see
Never [Bm]met a man more gentle or any [D]humbler
Never [Bm]once heard him raise his voice or saw him [A]mad
But I [Bm]watched him break his back on coal and [D]lumber
[G]To give her everything she never [A]had
(Chorus)
[Bm]Cause when it all comes down to [D]zero
There's [A]nothing more this life could ever [Bm]give
And I [D]know I'll never find another [Bm]hero
[G]Not another one like [A]him
[D]Born on a summer day in some dark [A]holler
[A]Way back in the hills of Perry [D]County
Well he [Bm]grew up poor and he never saw a [D]dollar
But a [A]dollar ain't no good in a coal camp any[G]way[A]
(Chorus)
And if I'm [Bm]half the man he is when I [D]die
I don't [A]know if I could ask for too much [Bm]more
He taught me you [D]only need one hand to count your [Bm]real friends in this life
But if you find true [A]love you better take both arms and hold on til your [D]sore[Bm] [D] [Bm] [G] [A]
(Chorus)
De[D]cided to write a song for my [A]hero
[A]Considering he's done so much for [D]me
