Intro 

| D           | D7          | G           | Gm/Bb       | 
| D           | A7          | D           | D           | 



       D                 D7    G            D 
It's a hard life getting by on melodies and rhymes, 
     D             D              A           A 
like all my heroes wrote in their songs. 
     D           D7             G         Gm/Bb 
Just hoping some day they might ask me to play: 
        D                A7         D           D 
what do you do when your heroes are gone? 

Chorus 
        D           C         G                 D 
Lord, I try to live up to the songs they left behind, 
      D            D                 A         A 
but I don't always know how to carry on. 
        D                 C          G            Gm/Bb 
It's so hard to find your way when a flame fades away. 
            D            A          D            D 
What do you do when your heroes are gone? 

Interlude 

| D           | D7          | G           | Gm/Bb       | 
| D           | A7          | D           | D           | 


 
            D                D7           G             D 
So, pour me one more for the courts and another for the burbs 
          D                  D        A           A 
while the jukebox just keeps rolling along. 
    D                 D7                       G     Gm/Bb 
And when the last one ends we'll play them all over again 
            D                   A7         D           D 
'cause what do you do when your heroes are gone. 


        D           C         G                 D 
Lord, I try to live up to the songs they left behind, 
      D            D                 A         A 
but I don't always know how to carry on. 
        D                 C                G            Gm/Bb 
It's so hard to find your way when another flame fades away. 
            D            A          D            D 
What do you do when your heroes are gone? 

Ending 

              D                 C          G            Gm/Bb 
Yeah, it's so hard to find your way when a flame fades away. 
            D            A         (G) 
What do you do when your heroes are gone? 
| G           | Gm         |             | D          ||
