       Bb
I was driving through my hometown

          Eb                 Bb
I was just kinda killin' time
When I seen a face staring out of black velvet painting
         F                     Eb    Bb
From the window of the five and dime
I couldn't quite recall the name
 Eb                         Bb
But the pose looked familiar to me
So I asked the salesgirl, "Who was that man
             F                Bb
Between the doberman and Bruce Lee?"

                 Eb          Bb
She 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."

        Bb
I met a stranger dressed in black
At the train station
   Eb                       Bb
He said, "Son your soul can be saved"
There's beautiful women nights of low livin'
          F                  Eb    Bb
And some dangerous money to be made
There's a big town 'cross the whiskey line
         Eb                    Bb
And if we turn the right cards up
They make us boss the devil pays off
         F                    Bb
And them folks that are real hard up

              Eb         Bb
They get their local hero

      Eb                       Bb

Well I learned my job I learned it well

     Eb                          Bb
Fit myself with religion and a story to tell

        Eb                        Bb
First they made me the king then they made me pope

Eb                              Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb
Well, then they brought the rope

          Bb
I woke to a gypsy girl sayin', "Drink this"

         Eb                   Bb
Well 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                   Bb
Wel I drunk some heady wine
Tonight I'm layin' here But there's something in my ear
       F                           Bb
Sayin' there's a little town just beneath the floodline
