I'll Be A Hero When I Strike 
Recorded by Merle Haggard
Written by Hank Cochran

C
All because I walk a different street

And not helloed by some I meet
           G7                     C
That don't mean that what I do is right

Those that said that I was wrong

Now say they knew it all along
      G7                    C
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike

C7
I'll be a hero when I strike
     F                   C
Come up tight and out of sight
        F
They'll say I'm dynamite
    C
And they'd like to be there when I light
      G7                    C
Cause I'll be a hero when I strike


I love God and the flag

And I ain't the kind to stand and brag
        G7                             C
And I'm the kind to stand right up and fight

Don't need a uniform to wear

To make the people stop and stare
      G7                         C
Cause Hoss I'll be a hero when I strike

repeat #2


Won't shake hands until I'm sore

Wear medals hangin' to the floor
        G7                              C
They'll throw rocks at Franklin and his kind

They'll say boy ain't that cowboy hot

There ain't nothin' he ain't got
    G7                         C
But I'm gonna be a hero when I strike

repeat #2
