Verse
A(5th fret) E Bm
Jimmy was a local boy, but he's seen much more than a change in the weather
SAitting in a uEniform of the threeBm-piece suit and ribbons from his past
LAooking for alEittle boy at the baBmr with the mouth who thinks he's clever now
DAreaming of a Eday that he got homBme 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

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

A(12th fret) E

HBme lines them up and he puts them down
IAt's sad, this tEown
SBmeems to fail to appreciate the man
