Even Heroes Die

Am         Am/G         F      G


[Verse 1]

Am           Am/G         F   G
Midnight at Graceland in '72
Am               Am/G         
Shooting TV with groupies in the 
    F          G
Jungle Room
Am                 Am/G       
A little fame and fortune was 
Am/F#      Am/F
all he had left
C                 G         C
He had become a parody of himself


[Verse 2]

 Am           Am/G         F     
They dug his grave by the kitchen
     G
 door
 Am                         Am/G  
And millions of blue-haired ladies
           F         G
 took the guided tour
 Am         Am/G          Am/F#  
His Chinese fan club came over on
   Am/F
 a boat
 C                         G      
And took pictures at his 
       C
birthplace in Tupelo

[Chorus]

F         C      G               
Some disappear, they drop out of 
 C
sight
F              C             G
Some stay too long and get crucified
           F                      C
Whoa this world ain't no place to be
              E7        Am   Am/G
When you're larger than life,    
    C G              Am   Am/G  
    Ohhh even heroes die
F  G (2x)



[Verse 3]

 Am         Am/G           F       G
Over on the poor side of Birmingham
 Am                     Am/G      
He was preaching on the corner but
         F         G
 nobody gave a damn
 Am             Am/G          
Except a couple hookers and a 
Am/F#      Am/F
homeless man
 C        G          C
A dozen losers were his best friends


[Verse 4]

 Am                       Am/G 
At the church across the street, 
             F         G
they were raising hell
 Am                        Am/G   
They said if he is a man of God, 
          F               G
why do his old clothes smell
 Am                 Am/G   
They ran him out of town for 
   Am/F#           Am/F
disturbing the peace
C              G         C
He died on a shelter cot in his 
sleep


[Chorus]

F          C     G               
Some disappear, they drop out of 
 C
sight
F              C              G
Some stay too long and get crucified
            F                     C
Whoa this world ain't no place to be
             E7          Am   
When you're larger than life,
Am/G  Am/F#

 C G               Am   Am/G   Am/F#
Whoa, even heroes die
C  G               Am   Am/G    
Whoa, even heroes die
F     G    Am
