[VERSE 1]

G                                   C

 It must have been cold there in my shadow

G                             C

 To never have sunlight on your face

Am                        D

 You were content to let me shine; that's your way

Am                         D

 You always walked a step behind

 

[VERSE 2]

G                              C

 So I was the one with all the glory

G                                   C

 While you were the one with all the strain

Am                         D

 A beautiful face without a name; for so long

Am                             D    D#o (or B7)

 A beautiful smile to hide the pain

 

[CHORUS]

Em            C                   G    D

 Did you ever know that you're my hero

Em              C               G   D

 And everything I would like to be

Em         C              G   D

 I can fly higher than an eagle

Am               D               G

 For you are the wind beneath my wings

 

[VERSE 3]

G                               C

 It might have appeared to go unnoticed

G                             C

 But I've got it all here in my heart

Am                            D

 I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it

Am                           D   D#o (or B7)

 I would be nothing without you

 

[CHORUS]

Em            C                   G    D

 Did you ever know that you're my hero

Em              C               G   D

 And everything I would like to be

Em         C              G   D

 I can fly higher than an eagle

Am               D               G

 For you are the wind beneath my wings

 

Em            C                G     D

 Did I ever tell you, you're my hero

       Em                    C               G   D

You're everything, everything I wish I could be

       Em           C              G   D

Oh and I, I can fly higher than an eagle

Am                  D              G     

 'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

 

G D Em Am                  D              G 

         'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

 

 

[OUTRO]

            C

Aaahhh, the wind beneath my wings

 G                          C

You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings

G               G/B      C             C  D

Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high

 G                  C

You, you, you, the wind beneath my wings

 G          G/B    C               C   D

You, you, you, the wind beneath my wings

 G           G                 G/B

Fly, fly, so high against the sky

   C            C            D

So high I almost touched the sky

     G                     C               D                G

Thank you, thank you, thank God for you the wind beneath my wings
