I walked out into the hills in lawless times, [C] searching for safety [A] in unsafe times.
I stood at [D] the top of Wadden Hill and I saw the sun [C] moving behind Wadden Hill.
I [G] stood in these lawless times and I cried out for sanctuary, _
[C] deliverance from all that
I [A] cannot control.
And I cried out to the [D] old father of our time.
I [C] said these things.
_ _ [G] Grant me poetry and all I achieve.
[C] Grant my enemies [A] time to grieve, [D] oh Dean, you're [G] my [C] hero.
_ _ _ [G] If I'm a dream, I'll wake defenseless.
[C] Grant me [A] time to collect my [D] senses, oh Dean, you're my [C] hero.

Walked in the sun, walked in the moonlight on the [C] snow, and in that winter glow, [A] walking
I was bathed in sheer [D] blinding love, like [G] svibdag in [C] growers' tombs.
Walked out to the [G] horizon, called out to the whore rising, for in this [C] realm it is not
[G] surprising [A] to be confronted by all, [D] by all and everything.

[C] and give me words [A] to explain it in song, [D] oh Dean,
you're my [C] hero.
_ _ _ [G] Lead me out of my every malaise, [C] with all your words, [A] your rhymes, your every [D] phrase,
you're [G] my [C] hero.
_ _ [G] _ You made the ode, the poem, the rhyme, [C] the only [A] father that showed me time, oh [D] Dean,
you're my [C] hero.
_ _ _ [G] Only in error do religions thrive, [C] they're priests that [Em] flatters, [A] that's unholy [D] child,
you're my [C] hero.
_ _ [G] _ Only in error do religions dare [C] to judge self [A]-righteously, let priests [D] swear, you're my [C] hero.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
This is a strange and tribal call, [C] out to the bards, the poets, [Em] the [A] gleemen, the shaman
of these islands [D] all.
Meet me where [G] all is [C] proceeding, meet me in Odin's [G] mead hall, greet me there in spectral
Dunedin, meet me [C] behind the guarded wall, [A] meet me in the Garden of Eden, [D] _ you're my [C] hero.
_ _ [G] The _ _ mountains, granites, stream, [C] that issues from [A] the mother's seam, [D] oh Dean, you're my [C] hero.

In heartlights, grey and mauve, [C] twilight descends [A] upon your throne, [D] oh Dean, you're my [C] hero.
_ _ [G] In the East, they call you Lord, [C] your name, it was [A] a title, be [D] your king, you're my [C] hero.
_ _ [G] Surrender them helpless and make a foot, [C] their twisted _ [A] spirits will they let food, [D] oh Dean,
you're my [C] hero.
_ _ _ [G] Take me to Asgard, take me to [C] Vanguard, take me to [A] Midgard, wise again, [D] oh Dean, you're my [C] hero.
_ _ _ [G] I have no place in the church or the court, [C] so look for me [A] in the one sweat mall [D] and search,
you're my [C] hero.
_ [G] _ Oh, give me strength to move with such pain, [C] my enemies will [A] retreat again, [D] oh Dean, you're my [C] hero.
_ _ [G] When I'm old and my eyes are filling, [C] please give me strength [A] to protect my women, [D] oh Dean,
you're my [C] hero.

Till we've erased the feast, [C] our suffering [A] will not be ceased, [D] oh Dean, you're my [C] hero.

my [C] hero.
