        D
We're defended by our heroes
      A
From sea to shining sea
Bm
Fighting for our freedom
         A
Looking out for you and me
    Em
We think of all you gave us
    Bm                                A
How you were there to save us so we'd see
     Em                  D                 G
You risked your life so we could all live free

        D            G
But our heroes never die
      D               Bm
Your spirit fills the sky
     Em             D                   A
Your presence truly blessed us from the start
         Em           D               G
You will never truly vanish from our hearts
            Bm          A               D  G  D  G
No, you'll never truly vanish from our hearts

    D
We're defended by our heroes
   A
He stood among the best
  Bm
Protecting us from evil,
  A
You rose above the rest
   Em
And though we could see through you
    Bm                              A
It seems we hardly knew you, we confess
Em              D
Thanks to what you've done
                G
We've all been blessed

        D            G
But our heroes never die
      D               Bm
Your spirit fills the sky
     Em             D                   A
Your presence truly blessed us from the start
         Em           D               A
You will never truly vanish from our hearts

     Em
And though my soul is aching
     C
Deep inside my heart is breaking
G                                      D
Nothing is the same since you've been gone
       Em
No, I don't think I can take it
   C
I don't know how I make it
          G                             D
When I'm beaten up and think I can't go on
            Em
But then I think of all you gave us
         D
And I realize that you've saved us
    Em              D                  A  B
The power of your memory will grow strong

       E                A
‘Cause our heroes never die

Your spirit fills the sky
     F#m             E                    B
Your presence truly blessed us from the start
         F#m           E              A
You will never truly vanish from our hearts
         C#m           B               E
You will never truly vanish from our hearts
