Local Boy

J[A]immy was a lo[E]cal boy, but he's s[Bm]een much more than a change in the weather
S[A]itting in a u[E]niform of the three[Bm]-piece suit and ribbons from his past
L[A]ooking for al[E]ittle boy at the ba[Bm]r with the mouth who thinks he's clever now
D[A]reaming of a [E]day that he got hom[Bm]e from a war to his childhood sweetheart

[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

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

Now he don't need anyone, theres no-one there for him,
There was really only one,

[A]Now he misses how she sounds,he f[E]rowns,
H[Bm]e lines them up and he puts them down
I[A]t's sad, this t[E]own
S[Bm]eems to fail to appreciate the man

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,

[A]Now he misses how she sounds,he f[E]rowns,
H[Bm]e lines them up and he puts them down
I[A]t's sad, this t[E]own
S[Bm]eems to fail to appreciate
w[A]hat he's ab[E]out
L[Bm]ines them up and puts them down
I[A]t's sad this t[E]own seems to fail[Bm] to appreciate the man
