Beggars and Heroes
Recorded by The Bellamy Brothers
Written by Ralph Siegel
 
G
Sitten' in a bar talking to my friends
C                         G
Talking till the night is day
 
All the girls we knew all the girls we lost
C                            Em
Headed straight from love to hate
 
          C            D7         Em
Oh we are fighting for love so it seems 
               C                  D7
But we're just trying to keep our dreams
G
Strumming with our friends 
C                D7      G    F C
Girls are broken down to tears
 
            G           C      D7   G
And there's beggars and heroes like me
            C      D7   G
Beggars and heroes like me
            C                    D7
And they're fighting and they're stealing
              Em
Begging for a feeling
    C                   A7    D7
And in the end they all surrender
G                    C      D7   G
They are beggars and heroes like me
 
 
Sittin' in a bar just a drink or two
C                G
Makes it easy to survive
 
Good old country songs good old country tales
C              G         Em
About the real things in life
              C          D7       Em
Though we are heroes and ready to fight
               C                      D7
But girls keep breaking our hearts at night
G                     C                     G
Held us in their arms lost forever to their star
 
                    C      D7   G
They're beggars and heroes like me
            C      D7   G
Beggars and heroes like me
            C                    D7
And there's fighting and there's stealing 
 
              Em
Begging for a feeling 
C                   A7    D7
In the end they all surrender
G                   C      D7   G
They're beggars and heroes like me
 
            C                    D7
And they're fighting and they're stealing
              Em
Begging for a feeling
    C                   A7    D7
And in the end they all surrender
G                    C      D7   G
They are beggars and heroes like me

            C      D7   G
Beggars and heroes like me
            C      D7   G
Beggars and heroes like me
