Capo 1?
[Verse 1]
G C
My father said, wish I had a son
G D
Cause you’re no boy of mine
G C
So I want to my ma, kissed her goodbye
G D G G
and said I’m not coming back this time
[Verse 2]
So I packed up my things and away I went
To sail across the sea
Blinders on and full steam ahead
Chasing all my foolish dreams
[Chorus]
Folk hero
Folk hero
I just want to be a
Folk hero
Folk hero
Folk hero
Fuck it! I’m a
Folk hero
[Verse 3]
We sailed for days to my despair
Thought I’ve must have been a loon
But when we arrived at the port
I heard this ol forgotten tune
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I left behind a girl that I love
But we were meant to be
I know it’s hard, but in the back of my mind
I knew she never noticed me
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
Started traveling town to town
But I didn’t have a clue
Almost gave up - but thats when
I met all of You
[Chorus / Outro]
Folk heroes
We just want to be a
Folk heroes
Folk heroes
Folk heroes
Fuck it! Now we’re all
Folk heroes
