There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.

They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited.

Young hearts be free tonight.time is on your side.

G C- G C

Am D - Am D

Em C G - Em C G

Em C G D - Em C G D- c g

It must have been cold there in my shadow,

to never have sunlight on your face.

You were content to let me shine; that's your way.

You always walked a step behind.

G C

So I was the one with all the glory,

G C

while you were the one with all the strain.

Am D

A beautiful face without a name; for so long.

Am D B7

A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Em C G

Did you ever know that you're my hero,

Em C G D

and everything I would like to be?

Em C G D

I can fly higher than an eagle

C G G

for you are the wind beneath my wings.

G C

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,

G C

but I've got it all here in my heart.

Am D

I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.

Am D B7

I would be nothing without you.

Em C G

Did you ever know that you're my hero,

Em C G D

and everything I would like to be?

Em C G D

I can fly higher than an eagle

C G G

for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Em C G

Did you ever know that you're my hero,

Em C G D

and everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle

C G G for you are the wind beneath my wings.____

The rose- I chorded this for a guy to sing and with open chords for an acoustic guitar. It starts out sparse and quiet,

then builds to a dramatic conclusion. Print and play!

Tuning is E A D G B E Chords used are: E B A Abm

Chord shapes:

E B - A B E

Some say love, it is a river, That drowns the tender reed

Some say love, it is a razor, That leaves your soul to bleed

Abm A

Some say love it is a hunger,

An endless aching need

E B

I say love it is a flower and

A B E

You its only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes a chance

Abm A B

It's the one, who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long

And you find that love is only For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snow

Lies the seed that with the sun's love, In the spring becomes the rose

__ hero Mariah Carey

Okay, put ur capo on the 4th fret & design ur own picking pattern or just a simple strum is fine since

the voice that takes over the song.

C Am (Dm) G

Start with: There's a Hero....

There's an answer...

And then a Hero....

Song: Hot Legs

G - C G- - D C - G

Who's that knocking on my door It's gotta be a quarter to four

Is it you again coming 'round for more

Well you can love me tonight if you want - But in the morning make sure you're gone

I'm talkin' to you Hot legs, wearing me out Hot legs, you can scream and shout C/C/G

Hot legs, are you still in school - I love you honey

G Gotta most persuasive tongue - You promise all kinds of fun

But what you don't understand I'm a working man

Gonna need a shot of vitamin E - By the time you're finished with me

I'm talking to you Hot legs, you're an alley cat - Hot legs, you scratch my back

Hot legs, bring your mother too - I love you honey

Imagine how my daddy felt in your jet black suspender belt

Seventeen years old He's touching sixty four

You got legs right up to your neck You're making me a physical wreck

I'm talking to you Hot legs, in your satin shoes Hot legs, are you still in school Hot legs, you're making me a fool - I love you honey

Hot legs, making your mark Hot legs, keep my pencil sharp

Hot legs, keep your hands to yourself - I love you honey

Hot legs, you're wearing me out Hot legs, you can scream and shout

Hot legs, are you're still in school - I love you honey

Hot legs you're well equipped Hot legs now your pussy's whipped

Hot legs I just love your lips – I love ya I love ya I love ya

                       You're in My Heart

                        by: Rod Stewart

VERSE 1:

      I didn't know what day it was

      When you walked into the room.

      I said 'hello' unnoticed;

      You said goodbye too soon.

      Breezin' through the clientele,

      Spinnin yarns that were so lyrical.

      I really must confess right here,

      That the attraction was purely physical.

VERSE 2:

      I took all those habits of yours,

      Which in the beginning were hard to accept.

      Your fashion sense for Beardsley prints,

      I chalked up to experience.

      The redheaded lady with a dutch accent

      Who tried to change my point of view.

      Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed,

      But my heart poured out for you.

CHORUS:

      You're in my heart, you're in my soul.

      You'll be my breath should I grow old.

      You are my lover, you're my best friend.

      You're in my soul.

VERSE 3:

      You're an essay in glamour.  (Please pardon the grammer.)

      But you're every schoolboy's dream.

      You're Celtic united, but baby I've decided

      You're the best team I've ever seen.

      You're a rhapsody, a comedy,

      You're a symphony and a play.

      You're every love song ever written,

      But honey what do you see in me?

CHORUS:

VERSE 4:

      My love for you is immeasurable;

      My respect for you: immense.

      You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness,

      You're beauty and elegance.

      And there have been many a day,

      Many times I thought to leave.

      But I bite my lip and turn around,

      Cause you're the warmest thing I ever found.

CHORUS:

(repeat)

But you took it all too seriously I guess it had to end

Cho...

Inst...verse,cho,verse,cho..

Now you ask me if I'm sincere that's the question that I always fear

The first seven is never clear but I'll tell you what you wanna hear

I'll try to give you all you want but givin' love is not my strongest point

If that's the case it's pointless goin' on I'd rather be alone

Amaj7 A7 D

'Cause what I'm doin must be wrong pourin' my heart out in a song

Dm A E A

Owning up for prosperity for the whole damn world to see

Amaj7 A7 D

Quietly now while I turn a page Act 20's over without costume change

Dm A - E A

The principal would like to leave the stage

The crowd don't understand

Song: Rhythm Of My Heart Rhythm Of My Heart By Rod Stewart Note: Use a mellow pickup setting, light tremelo + light reverb

The Song is a simple progression of these three bar Chords C#6 = x46666 F# = 244322Ab = 466544

Progression & Intro:

C#6 - F# - C#6 - G# - C#6 - F# - C#6 - G# - C#6 - Repeat -

To sound correct with the original recording this song should be played with the bar chords indicated... However, it can be played poorly with a Capo on the first fret, using C6/F/C6/G

C#6 F#- C#6 Ab

Across the street the river runs Down in the gutter life is slipping away

Let me still exist in another place,

C#6 F#- C#6 Ab C#6

Running down under cover Of a helicopter blade

C#6 F#- C#6 Ab

The flames are getting higher, in effigy

Burning down the bridges of my memory

C#6 F#

Love may still alive somewhere someday

C#6 Ab C#6

where they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away

C#6 F#- C#6 Ab

Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum

with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue

C#6 F#

No never will I roam, for I know my place is home

C#6 Ab C#6

Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing

C#6 F#- C#6 Ab

Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness,light it up, light it up

I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans

C#6 Ab C#6

Running down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby, Oh, baby

C#6 F#

Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum

C#6 Ab

with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue

C#6 F#

No never will I roam, for I know my place is home

C#6 Ab C#6 Ab C#6

Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing (I'll be sailing)

...Oh, yeah...

C#6 F#- C#6 Ab

Oh, I've got lightning in my veins,

shifting like the handle of a slot machine

Love may still exist, in another place.

C#6 Ab C#6

I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face.

== Chorus 3x ==

C#6 F#- C#6 Ab

Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue

No never will I roam, for I know my place is home - Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing

intro D D/G D/A D

Verse 1

D D/G D/A D

You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply.

F#m Bm E A

I'd rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie

Em A D Bm

And who am I to judge you on what you say or do

G F#/D E F# A

I'm only just beginning to see the real you.

Chorus

D D/G A F#m

And sometimes when we touch. The honesty's too much

Bm E A

And I have to close my eyes, and hide.

D D/G A F#/A

I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down, and cry.

Em A D

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

Verse2

D D/G D/A D

Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride

F#m Bm E A

But though the insecurity some tenderness survies

Em A D Bm

Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths

G F#/D E F# A

A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.

Chorus

D D/G A F#m

And sometimes when we touch the honestys too much

Bm E A

and I have to close my eyes, and hide

D D/G A F#A

I wanna hold you till I die till we both breakdown, and cry

Em A D

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Bridge

A A A D

At times Id like to hold you and drive you to your knees

Bm F#m G A

at times Id like to break through, and hold you endlessly

D D/G D/A D

at times I understand you, and I know how hard you try

F#m Bm E A

Ive watched while love commands you and Ive watched love pass you by

Em A D Bm

a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.

Song: Some Guys Have All The Luck

SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK (Rod Stewart)

A D Bm G A

Some guys have all the luck Some guys have all the pain

Some guys get all the breaks Some guys did nothing but complain

D Alone in a crowd on a bus after work

and I'm dreaming

G The guy next to me has a girl in his arms

A My arms are empty

How does it feel when the girl next to you

says she loves you

It seem so unfair when there's love everywhere

but there's none for me

Some guys have all the luck

Some guys have all the pain

Some guys get all the breaks

Some guys did nothing but complain

Someone to take on a walk by the lake

Lord let it be me

Someone who's shy

Someone who'll cry at sad movies

I know I would die if I ever found out

she was fooling me

You're just a dream and as real as it seems

I ain't that lucky

Some guys have all the luck

Some guys have all the pain

Some guys get all the breaks

Some guys did nothing but complain

All of my friends have a ring on their finger

They have someone

Someone to care for them it ain't fair

I got no one

The car overheated

I called up and pleaded

There's help on the way

I called you collect you didn't accept

You had nothing to say

Some guys have all the luckSome guys have all the pain

Some guys get all the breaksSome guys did nothing but complain

But if you were here with me I'd feel so happy I could cry

You are so dear to meI just can't let you say goodbye
