Hero by Nickelback and Saliva
Transcribed by Danny Squared May 6, 2002
The beginning, simple chords
Strums and the like aren't hard to figure out, only a simple 4/4 song.
Tuning: Standard, tuned down 2 whole steps I believe.
Fig. 1 (Verse)
I'm so high, I can hear heaven... rep. x2
Am F

Fig. 3 (Chorus) II
I'll hold onto the wings of the angels and watch as they all fly away.
1st chorus: End at the F, Others: Go back to Fig. 3 (I)
After the second chorus, there's a fingerpicked part which is
basically the chorus. Here goes...
Fig. 4 (Interlude)
I don't know the lyrics, keep in mind that I made this from an Mp3
and the few times I've seen the video.

Now, the whole outro plays both variations of the choruses, ending at
chorus II, with the F chord.
Well, that's my tab of Nickelback's Hero from the Spiderman soundtrack.
It's not flawless, but it's the basic idea. It looks weird, but I'm
confident that I'm right on most of the chords.
