Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Heroes and her[Am]oines are[Em] scarcer
than they've [F]ever been
[C]So much more to los[Am]e than win
[F]The distance [G]never greater
[C]Way back whe[Am]n you made history
[Em]By flying planes a[F]cross the sea
[C]Embarking on your ody[F]ssey
[Am]You [F]put away[G] the[C] danger

[Verse 2]
[F]Heaven bless the one who[Em] flies
[F]A pioneer on front[Em]ier skies
[F]The wor[C]ld was dark and you[Am]r only mark
Was the [D]light of the northern [G]star
[F]I imagine what was in [Em]your eyes[F]
The seeds of rust [Em]and days [F]gone by
Your [C]wings hang in a [Am]gal lery sky
[F]I wonder h[G]ow you're f[C]lying

[Verse 3]
[C]
Way out on the [Am]western plains
[Em]The snow drifts high and
[F]the dust wind burns
[C]The Chinooks blow their [Am]winds
across [F]the mountains
[G]A l[C]ife that's never s[Am]afe and dry
[Em]Rodeos and r[F]iding high
[C]Ladies and their men[Am] get by
On [F]six-guns an[G]d and white l[C]ightning

[Verse 4]
[F]Heaven bless them on [Em]the road
[F]Those drifters and their [Em]dreams of gold
[F]The wor[C]ld was wide and
[Am]cowboy's soul
Could [D]span the whole [G]horizon
[F]I imagine what was in [Em]your eye[F]s
The dust and the dirt under [Em]outlaw [F]skies
[C]A piece of land and a
[Am]stubborn mind
[F]Were the only [G]things worth [C]having

[C][Am][F][G][C]

[Verse 5]
Now they [C]say the moon is [Am]dust and ash
[Em]California's made [F]of cash
[C]We're waiting for those hills t[Am]o crash
[F]Into the sparkling waters[G]
[C]Rain and snow and sun[Am] and wind
You [Em]roamed the earth
and you [F]spread your wings
[C]And long ago, my [Am]heroes' dreams
Be[F]longed to [G]all God's [C]creatures

[Verse 6]
[F]Heaven bless the[Em] ones who sleep
[F]The ones who laugh and the [Em]ones who weep
[F]Hea[C]ven bless the on[Am]es who keep
Their [D]bearings strong [G]and certain
[F]And Lord help the fool who[Em] said
[F]You'd better quit while
[Em]you're [F]ahead
[C]A dreamer born is a [Am]hero bred
On [F]earth and [G]up in [C]heaven
[F]Lord help the[Em] fool who said
[F]You'd better quit while you[Em]'re ahead
[F]A d[C]reamer born is a h[Am]ero bred
On [F]earth [G]and up in [C]heaven

[Outro 1]
[Am][Em][F][G][C]
