Hero by Nickelback and Saliva
Transcribed by Danny Squared May 6, 2002
The beginning, simple chords
Strums and the like aren't hard to figure out, only a simple 4/4 song.
Tuning: Standard, tuned down 2 whole steps I believe.
Fig. 1 (Verse)
I'm so high, I can hear heaven... rep. x2

Fig. 3 (Chorus) II
I'll hold onto the wings of the angels and watch as they all fly away.
1st chorus: End at the F, Others: Go back to Fig. 3 (I)
After the second chorus, there's a fingerpicked part which is
basically the chorus. Here goes...
Fig. 4 (Interlude)
I don't know the lyrics, keep in mind that I made this from an Mp3
and the few times I've seen the video.

Now, the whole outro plays both variations of the choruses, ending at
chorus II, with the F chord.
Well, that's my tab of Nickelback's Hero from the Spiderman soundtrack.
It's not flawless, but it's the basic idea. It looks weird, but I'm
confident that I'm right on most of the chords.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NICKELBACK tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
