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
Yeah, somebody with the right style
Eb Bb
They get their local hero
Eb Bb | Bb | Eb | Bb | Eb
Somebody with just the right smile

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
Eb Bb
Needs a local hero
Eb Bb
Yeah, somebody with the right style
Eb Bb
Lookin' for a local hero
Eb Bb
Yeah, someone with the right smile
Eb Bb Eb Bb
Lookin' for a local hero, yeah somebody woth the right smile

(fade out)
