Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter "Heroes And Heroines" Official Lyric Video

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Heroes [Am] and _ [Em] heroines _ Scarcer [F] than they've ever been
[C] _
So much [Am] more to lose than [F] win _ Distance [G] never greater
_ [C]
Way back when they [Am] made history [Em] _ _
Flying [F] planes across the [C] sea _
Embarking [Am] on the odyssey [F] _
[G] Put away [C] the danger
_ [F] _
Heaven bless [Em] the one [F] who flies _ Pioneer [Em] on frontier [F] skies
[C] The world was dark [Am] and your only mark [D] Was the light of the [G] northern star
_ [F] _
Imagine what [Em] was in [F] your eyes Seeds of rust [Em] in days [F] gone by
[C] Your wings hang [Am] in a gallery sky [F] I [G] wonder how [C] you're flying _ _ _
_ _ _ Way out [Am] on the western plains [Em] _ _ [C] Snowdrifts [F] high and dark clouds [C] rain
_ [Am] Chinooks blow their winds [F] across the night _ [G] _ [C] _
_ [G] _ [C] Life that's never [Am] safe and [Em] dry
_ _ Rodeo [F] _
riding [C] high Lemon and [Am] air men get by
[F] _ [G] Six guns and [C] white lies _ _ [F] _ Heaven bless [Em] them on [F] the road
_ Drifters in [Em] their days [F] of gold [C] The world was wild
[Am] And a cowboy saw [D] us span the [G] whole horizon
_ [C] _ [F] Imagine [Em] what's in [F] your eyes Dust and [Em] dirt under [F] outlaw [C] skies
A piece of land [Am] and a stubborn mind [F] Were the [G] only things [C] worth having
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _

_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] Apples _ _ _ _ _ _ say the [Am] moon is dust and [Em] ash _ _ _ [F] California's made of [C] cash
_ One day those [Am] hills will crash [F] Into the sparkling [G] waters
_ [C] _ _ Rain and snow [A] and sun [Am] and wind [Em] You own the earth [F] and you [C] spread your wings
Long ago [Am] a hero's dreams [F] _ [G] Belonged to all [C] God's creatures
_ [F] _ Heaven bless [Em] the ones who [F] sleep The ones who laugh [Em] and the ones [F] who [C] weep
Heaven bless [Am] the ones who keep [D] Their bearings [G] strong and certain
_ [F] _ Lord help [Em] the fool [F] who said _ Better quit [Em] while [F] you're ahead
[C] _ Dreamers on [Am] a harky rosemary [F] On earth [G] and up [C] in heaven
_ _ [F] _ Lord help [Em] the fool [F] who said Better quit [Em] while [F] you're ahead
[C] _ Dreamer born [Am] is a hero bred [F] On [G] earth and [C] up in heaven
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
