Topic: "Ordinary Heroes"

This song is for all the people out there who do the jobs that need to get done but never get acknowledged unless the job doesn’t get done. They deserve a song I think just for putting up with never getting the credit for a job well done the majority of the time.

Ordinary Heroes By Jeff Gilpin


October 2nd, 2008




[D]Ordinary [A]heroes


Living [D]ordinary [G]lives

World go [D]round [A] [D]


With[D]out the ordi[A]nary


Well the [D]spinning world would [G]stop


[D]Throwing all the [A]people


To the [D]ground [A] [D]


[Bm]All the little details


That we [F#]cannot live without


And [Bm]yet we take for


Granted every [A]day [A7]



[D]Not so ordi[A]nary


When you [D]stop and think a[G]bout


As [D]ordinary [A]heroes


Win the [D]day [A] [D]


[Bm]So here’s to all


The ordinary [F#]heroes


[Bm]Who're keeping


The world spinning [A]on[A7]


[D]Thank for putting [A]up with


The [D]arrogance we [G]give


[D]Keep being he[A]roic


Proud and [D]strong [A] [D]

Re: "Ordinary Heroes"

Hi Jets,

Today a barrier would not lift to allow me and my car through. So i waited for the office manager to lift the barrier as i had paid the parking.
after about 5 minutes  of nothing happening , i walked back to the office abandoning my car where it was.  The office manager was sleeping like a new born babe. lol
Well he was untill i gave a huge bang on the glass to attract his attention. His reaction was hilarious. I couldn't speak  to him i was laughing so much. I just headed back to my car . The barrier was  now raised as was the hair on his head from the fright
i gave him.
Is this guy an ordinary hero or a big lazy Git ? lol.

Love the song Sir.

Hey Lena - I'm sure he entended to stay awake but dozed off some where before you showed up. Where I work there are people who come by and clean up the trash, the common kitchen areas and restrooms. I've never heard them complain once about their job but some of my coworkers leave the areas very messy. Even then they never complain and do a great job.
