Song title:      No More Heroes
Original Album:  No More Heroes

Words and Music by Dave Greenfield, Hugh Cornwell, Jean-Jacques Burnel and 
                     Jet Black

Copyright © 1977 United Artist Records (later: Liberty Records)
Published by EMI Music Publishing Ltd.

NOTES:
I've indicated 5ths in the figures but full chords might be better for a solo
acoustic guitar. See what you think...


INTRO:
Notes:
The organ and the guitar play complementary parts, so see what sounds better
for solo guitar.

VERSE1:
Notes:
Guitar Figure 2 is the basis of the VERSEs.
The organ and guitar continue their complementary parts but the figure
is slightly different to that played in the INTRO.
