Local Boy
Verse
A(5th fret) E Bm
Jimmy was a local boy, but he's seen much more than a change in the weather
A E Bm
Sitting in a uniform of the three-piece suit and ribbons from his past
A E Bm
Looking for alittle boy at the bar with the mouth who thinks he's clever now
A E Bm
Dreaming of a day that he got home from a war to his childhood sweetheart
Pre-chorus
F*m E Bm
Now he don't need anyone, theres no-one there for him,
F*m E Bm
Just a feeling, of an empty place, deter eating
Verse
Jimmy's always been a local, but he's seen much more than i'm bound to ever
A member of a dying breed that sat and wait as it all just falls apart
Thinking of a day that's oh so long ago, he can't remember right
There was a time a man can still be a man and proud to use his heart
Pre-chorus
Now he don't need anyone, theres no-one there for him,
There was really only one,
Chorus
A(12th fret) E
Now he misses how she sounds,he frowns,
Bm
He lines them up and he puts them down
A E
It's sad, this town
Bm
Seems to fail to appreciate the man
(Guitar solo)
A E Bm x2
Pre chorus (one strum only)
Now he don't need anyone, theres no-one there for him,
No he don't feel any more, coz jimmy's so thicked skinned
F*m E Bm
And a long, long time ago, when he could break her heart
F*m E Bm
There was really only one,
Chorus
A(12th fret) E
Now he misses how she sounds,he frowns,
Bm
He lines them up and he puts them down
A E
It's sad, this town
Bm
Seems to fail to appreciate
A E

Bm
Lines them up and puts them down
A E Bm
It's sad this town seems to fail to appreciate the man
