Verse 1
(D major) I know you got ideas about movie stars
And (A major) riding in the back of their (D major) fancy cars
I know you got a dream
about a modeling job
Of (A major) getting out of town
and dumping this (D major) poor slob
But baby don't leave me here all alone
Don't (G major) go to Paris, don't (A major) go to Rome
Stay (D major) in town just like your sister Joyce
And (G major) don't look any (C major) further
than the (D major) local boys
I'm working in VJams for a decent screw
I'm (A major) holding down a job
I could provide (D major) for you
I'm looking at a house
I got a payment down
It's a (A major) semi -detached,
two up (D major) , two down
So baby don't leave me here,
please stay
Don't (G major) go to Barcelona or the (A major) USA
Who (D major) needs a rider, who needs choice?
It (G major) don't get any (C major) better than
the (D major) Local Boys (G major)
(C major) Loc (A major) al Boys (G major)
(C major) Loc (D major) al Boys (G major) (C major) (G major)
Local Boys (D major)
Now John'll fix the motor so it never fails
My (A major) jockey pulls the pumps
at the (D major) bag of nails
Fred is a roofer and Bill is a clerk
I'm (A major) working part -time as a (D major) soda jerk
Just don't leave me here all alone
Don't (G major) go to Paris, don't (A major) go to Rome
Stay (D major) in town just like your sister Joyce
And don't look (G major) any fur (C major) ther
than the (D major) local boys
Local (G major) (C major) boys, (A major) loc (G major) al (C major) boys,
(D major) loc (G major) al (C major) boys (G major) (A major) (D major) (E major) (A major)
(D major) (F major) (C major) (D major)
Living in a village ain't such a curse
You could (A major) get a nice position
as a (D major) dental nurse
You're gonna get hurt in
the big wide world
Stick around, (A major)
get a job as a (D major) checkout bill
Don't leave me here, please stay
Don't (G major) go to Barcelona or the (A major) U .S .A.
Who (D major) needs variety, who needs choice?
It (G major) don't get any (C major) better
than a (D major) love for boys
Don't leave me here, all alone
(G major) Don't go to Paris, don't (A major) go to Rome
Stay (D major) in town just like your sister Joyce
Give (G major) another shot (C major) to the (D major) local boys
You're (G major) looking any (C major) better
than a (D major) local boy
Let's (G major) hear (C major) it for the (D major) local boys (D major)
They're alright (D major)
Local Boys
