INTRO: G  C  D  (4x)  G

              C                      D
So you cannot lift a spirit that has turned to lead
   G                C               D
Or shine a light in shadow when the batteries are dead
              C         G            
Or fly like a bird over all the works of man
          C
Or always think of the perfect words
        G          
But you do the best you can


                 C          D
Nothing seems as easy as it did when you were young
G              C             D
Myths may be invincible, but we are only strong
              C                     G           
Strong like a memory, strong like a willow in the wind
                 C
Strong as you'll ever be
         G            
You will always need to bend


CHORUS:
           C        A             D
And if you feel the weight of the world
D/F#     G       C
Put your mind at ease
       D
Little Hercules

G                    C                D                    G
There are times when being a grown-up gets to be too much
                  C               D
And your sense of humour seems to vanish in the crush
       C                            G         
Of the daily 9 to 9 that keeps your family alive
            C
You're just putting in your time
            G            
Does anyone really go home at 5?


                         C                     D            G
You've made a life where no one ever tells you what to do
                 C                  D                    
And now the only tyrant that you're working for is you
           C                    G
It's never easy to keep all the promises you make
         C
No one's gonna get you fired
         G
You just give yourself a break


CHORUS:
           C        A             D
And if you feel the weight of the world
D/F#     G       C
Put your mind at ease
       D
Little Hercules


CHORUS:
               C       A       D
'Cause there's so much on your shoulders
D/F#    G           C
But you know it's a breeze
       D
