Who I'd Be Uke tab by Shrek: The Musical

Db                       Gb
       I guess I’d be a hero
               Db    Ebm
With sword and armor clashing
       Gb        Ab/C
Looking     semi dashing
                       Db
A shield within my grip
            Db   Gbadd2
Or else I’d be a Viking
              Db     Ebm
And live a life   of daring
               Gbmaj7/Bb  Ab/C
While smelling like     a herring
              Gbsus2
Upon a Viking ship
         Dbadd2/F 
I’d sail away, I’d see the world
Gbsus2                Fm7
      I'd reach the farthest reaches
Gbsus2                 Db/F              Gbadd2        F7/A
      I’d feel the wind,   I’d taste the salt   and sea
       Bbm      Abadd2/C Ab/C     Gbsus2
And may - be storm           some beaches

That’s who I’d be
               Db
That’s who I’d be
             Db/F    Gb                 Db/F  Ebm7
Or I could be    a poet and write a diff’rent story
         Gb/Bb    Ab/C                         Db
One that tells of glory and wipes away the lies
            Db/F   Gbsus2
Into the skies I’d throw it
                 Db/F    Ebm7
The stars would do   the telling
                 Gb/Bb   Ab/C
The moon would help with spelling

And night would dot the “I’s”
Gbsus2                Dbadd2/F 
      I’d write a verse,      recite a joke
Gbsus2             Fm7
      With wit and perfect timing
Gbsus2                 Dbadd2/F            Gbadd2  Gb F7/A
      I’d share my heart,      confess the things  I  yearn
      Bbm   Ab/C      Gbsus2
And do   it all while rhyming
Gbsus2
But we all learn, but we all learn
Cbsus2               Gb/Bb Cbsus2                  Gb/Bb
      An ogre always hides,      an ogre’s fate is known
Cbsus2               Gb/Bb Ab/C                 Cm7    Bbsus4    Bb    D
      An ogre always stays in the dark and all alone
        D/F#       G            D/F#         Em7
So yes, I’d be a hero and if my wish were granted
             G/B    A/C#                       D
Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say
                    G/B      G          D/F# Em7
Of course I’d be a hero, and I would scale a tower
            G/B     A/C#    A
To save a hot-house flower
                   Gsus2
And carry her away
             Dadd2/F#
But standing guard would be a beast
Gsus2            F#m7
     I’d somehow overwhelm it
Gsus2              Dadd2/F#
     I’d get the girl,     I’d take a breath,
Gsus2           F#m7
     And I’d remove my helmet
Gsus2                   D/F#             G/B
     We’d stand and stare, we’d speak of love
                  D/F#
We’d feel the stars ascending
Gsus2                 D/F#          G     F#
     We’d share a kiss, I’d find my destiny
      Bmadd2 Bm   Asus2 A      Gsus2
I’d have     a he   -   ro’s end  -  ing
  Bm      A     Gsus2
A perfect happy end - ing

That’s how it would be!
  Em7        D/F#      Gsus2
A big bright beautiful world!

      But not for me

Gsus2/B               D/A
       An ogre always hides,
Gsus2                  D/F#
     An ogre’s fate is known

       An ogre always stays in the dark                All alone      and I know
       An ogre always stays in the dark                All alone
