| Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb

       BbI was driving through my hometown
          Eb                 BbI was just kinda killin' time

When I seen a face staring out of black velvet painting
         F                     Eb    BbFrom the window of the five and dime

I couldn't quite recall the name
 Eb                         BbBut the pose looked familiar to me

So I asked  the salesgirl, "Who was that man
             F                BbBetween the doberman and Bruce Lee?"
                 Eb          BbShe said, "Just a local hero"
 Eb                             Bb"Local hero," she said with a smile
      Eb          Bb         Eb                Bb    | Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb"Yeah a local hero he used to live here for a while."

        BbI met a stranger dressed in black

At the train station
   Eb                       BbHe said, "Son your soul can be saved"

There's beautiful women nights of low livin'
          F                  Eb    BbAnd some dangerous money to be made

There's a big  town 'cross the whiskey line
         Eb                    BbAnd if we turn the right cards up

They make us boss the devil pays off
         F                    BbAnd them folks that are real hard up
              Eb         BbThey get their local hero
      Eb                       BbYeah, somebody with  the right style
               Eb        BbThey get their local hero
  Eb                           Bb | Bb | Eb | Bb | EbSomebody with just the right smile

                        BbWell I learned my job I learned it well
     Eb                          BbFit myself with religion and a story to tell
        Eb                        BbFirst they made me the king then they made me pope
Eb                              Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb | Bb | EbWell, then they brought the rope

          BbI woke to a gypsy girl sayin', "Drink this"
         Eb                   BbWell my hands had lost all sensation

These days I'm feeling all right 
         F                      Eb             Bb'Cept I can't tell my courge from my desperation

From the tainted chalice
     Eb                   BbWel I drunk some heady wine

Tonight I'm layin' here

But there's something in my ear
       F                           BbSayin' there's a little town just beneath the floodline
       Eb        BbNeeds a local hero
       Eb                      BbYeah, somebody with the right style
              Eb        BbLookin' for a local hero
       Eb                      BbYeah, someone with the right smile
               Eb       Bb       Eb                     BbLookin'  for a local hero, yeah somebody woth the right smile
