Shrek  
Db                Gb                  Gb/F  Ebm 
I guess I'd be a hero, With sword and armor clashing 
       Gb/Bb Ab/C                        Db 
Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip 
Db         Db/F  Gb                Gb/F     Ebm  
Or else I'd be a Viking and live a life of daring  
                Gb/Bb     Ab/C               Gb2 
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship. 
         Db2/F            Gb2                    Fm7  
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches  
Gb2          Db2/F               Gb2      F/A 
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea.  
    Bbm    Ab/C      Gb 
And maybe storm some beaches.  

Gb2                               Db 
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be.  

Db              Gb                Gb/F    Ebm 
Or I could be a poet and write a different story,  
         Gb/Bb     Ab/C                        Db 
One that tells of glory, and wipes away the lies  
Db         Db/F       Gb                       Gb/F     Ebm 
And to the skies I'd throw it, the stars would do the telling  
               Gb/Bb     Ab/C                              Gb2 
The moon would help with spelling, and night would dot the 'I's 
  
            Db2/F            Gb2               Fm7  
I'd write a verse, Recite a joke, with wit and perfect timing.  
Gb2           Db2/F               Gb2      F/A      Bbm   Ab/C      Gb 
I'd share my heart, confess the things I yearn, and do it all while rhyming.  
Gb                  
But we all learn. But we all learn. 

Db2          Ab2/C     
And Ogre always hides,     
Db2          Ab2/C  
an Ogre's fate is known  
Db2                                       Cm   Bbsus4  Bb 
And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone  

D         D/F#  G               D/F#     Em 
So yes I'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted 
          G/B  A/C#                        D 
Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say. 
D            D/F#  G                 D/F#     Em 
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower  
            G/B      A/C#                   D 
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away  
G2           D2/F#            G2                 F#m 
But standing guard would be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it, 
G2         D2/F#                  G2           F#m 
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet.  

G2             D2/F#                G2                  F#m 
We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars ascending  
G             D2/F#            G2   F#          
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny 
    Bm     A2     G         Bm      A 
I'd have a hero's ending, a perfect happy ending. 
G 
That's how it would be 
  Em         D/F#          G 
A big bright beautiful world  
A            
But not for me.

G2/B      D/A          G         D/F#         G/B                   A/C# 
An ogre always hides. An ogres fate is known. An ogre always stays in the dark 

                                             Shrek (same time as Fiona's same line) 
                                              An ogre always stays in the dark 

                                                                     Donkey 
                                                                      you're all alone 

C#m 
All Alone (All at the same time) 

Shrek 
Eb        EB/G    Ab           Eb/G      Fm         Ab/Eb         Bb/D                        Eb 
So yes i'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted my life would be enchanted or so the stories say.  
Eb            Eb/G Ab              Eb/G     Fm                         Bb                  Ab2 
Of course I'd be a hero and I would scale a tower to save a hot-house flower and carry her away! 

              Fiona 
                There are rules and there are strictures. I believe the story books i read by candle light 
              Donkey 
                Don't let me go, Don't let me go, Don't let me go 


All 
  Cm      Bb/D   Ab2    Cm/G   Fm       Bb2  Bb    Eb  Eb/G  Ab  Eb/G  Fm  Bbsus4  Bb    And then end on Eb 
A perfect happy ending, that's how.... it.. should be!
