HOMETOWN HERO
As recorded by J.R. Carroll
(2024 release)


Capo 3rd fret


Intro
G   Am   D   G


Verse 1
G
I get my drinks for free in Tulsa if I'm feeling friendly
     Am
I can make a couple bucks if I sing a little Whitley
      D                                 G
I’m a hometown hero taking time off the road
G
I bet my buddies are probably waiting on me, praying I walk in
               Am
And if they're lucky, I might buy a round of anything but gin
      D                           G
I'm a hometown hero getting ready to explode


Chorus
            Am  D    G
But I don’t need any sympathy
            Am  D             G
And I don't want anything but wine
           Am   D                 Em     A
She may be gone, but she won't forget me
                    Am                   D
'Cause heroes don't die, Lord knows I've tried
                    G
But love just won't let me


Guitar Solo
G   Am   D   G


Verse 2
G
See I've been all around the world, I’ve seen Rome and Paris too
    Am
And none of them can hold a flame to laying eyes on you
D                                    G
Under the soft lit haze of our empty room
G
I sure won’t lay awake tonight wondering if I could have changed
Am
Done a few things different, and maybe you'd have stayed
D                                         G
But I can’t turn back time and that's a crying shame


Chorus
            Am  D    G
But I don’t need any sympathy
            Am  D             G
And I don't want anything but wine
           Am   D                 Em     A
She may be gone, but she won't forget me
                    Am                   D
'Cause heroes don't die, Lord knows I've tried
                    G
But love just won't let me


Outro-Guitar Solo
G   Am   D   G     Am
D   G    Am   D   G
