Guitar chord Heroes

Heroes is a song by David Bowie, written in collaboration with Brian Eno. It was inspired by a scene Bowie witnessed between two lovers beside the Berlin Wall, projecting against the political and social pressures of the time. The song reflects the desire to overcome and to be heroes, even if just for one day, in the face of oppression and division represented by the Wall.
