Key: F 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
