Tyler Bonnie - Holding Out For A Hero Chords & Tabs

Bonnie Tyler
Holding Out For A Hero

This is without doubt, one of the greatest 80's songs ever. and probably most remembered by children in Short-Circuit 2 when Johnny 5 races across the peer to capture Oscar!!!
Recently it was redone by the Jennifer Saunders for Shrek 2, and it is definately one song that gets your pulse racing.
There were no tabs, so i had to take initiative. I did it listening to the cd, its a little bit wrong at the bridge, but if there's any other problems, email me:

Thanks, and enjoy

It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet
