Local Hero Bruce Springsteen
| Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb
I was d[Bb]riving through my hometown
I was just[Eb] kinda killin' time[Bb]
When I seen a face staring out of black velvet painting
From the [F]window of the five and[Eb] dime[Bb]
I couldn't quite recall the name
B[Eb]ut the pose looked familiar[Bb] to me
So I asked the salesgirl, "Who was that man
Between the d[F]oberman and Bruce[Bb] Lee?"
She said, "Just a[Eb] local hero"[Bb]
"[Eb]Local hero," she said with a sm[Bb]ile
Eb Bb Eb Bb | Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb
"Yeah a local hero he used to live here for a while."
I met a [Bb]stranger dressed in black
At the train station
He [Eb]said, "Son your soul can [Bb]be saved"
There's beautiful women nights of low livin'
And some d[F]angerous money to b[Eb]e made[Bb]
There's a big town 'cross the whiskey line
And if we[Eb] turn the right cards [Bb]up
They make us boss the devil pays off
And them [F]folks that are real h[Bb]ard up
They get their[Eb] local hero[Bb]
Yeah, [Eb]somebody with the right [Bb]style
They get their [Eb]local hero[Bb]
Eb Bb | Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb
Somebody with just the right smile
Well I learned my job I [Bb]learned it well
Fit m[Eb]yself with religion and a st[Bb]ory to tell
First th[Eb]ey made me the king then t[Bb]hey made me pope
Eb Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb
Well, then they brought the rope
I woke to [Bb]a gypsy girl sayin', "Drink this"
Well my h[Eb]ands had lost all sen[Bb]sation
These days I'm feeling all right
'Cept I c[F]an't tell my courge fro[Eb]m my desperatio[Bb]n
From the tainted chalice
Wel I[Eb] drunk some heady win[Bb]e
Tonight I'm layin' here
But there's something in my ear
Sayin' [F]there's a little town just b[Bb]eneath the floodline
Needs a[Eb] local her[Bb]o
Yeah, s[Eb]omebody with the right s[Bb]tyle
Lookin' for a [Eb]local hero[Bb]
Yeah, s[Eb]omeone with the right sm[Bb]ile
Lookin' for a [Eb]local her[Bb]o, yeah s[Eb]omebody woth the right [Bb]smile
