    Verse 1
    was 
    driv

    ing 
    through 
    my 
    hometown 

    was 
    just 
    kinda 
    killin' 
    time 

    When I 
    seen 
    a face 
    staring 
    out 

    of 
    a black 
    velvet 
    painting 

    From 
    the 
    window 
    of 
    the 
    five 
    and 
    dime 

    couldn't 
    quite 
    recall 
    the name 

    But 
    the 
    pose 
    looked 
    familiar 
    to me 

    So 
    asked 
    the 
    salesgirl 
    "Who 

    was 
    that 
    man 

    Between 
    the 
    doberman and 

    Bruce 
    Lee?" 

    She 
    said 
    "Just 
    a local 
    hero" 

    "Local 
    hero" 
    she said 

    with 
    a smile 

    "Yeah 
    local 
    hero 
    he 
    used 
    to 

    live 
    here 
    for a 
    while" 

    Verse 2

    met a stranger 
    dressed 
    in 
    black 

    At 
    the train 
    station 

    He said 
    "Son 
    your soul 

    can 
    be 
    saved" 

    There's 
    beautiful 
    women 

    nights 
    of 
    low livin' 

    And 
    some 
    dangerous 
    money 

    to 
    be 
    made 

    There's 
    big 
    town 
    'cross 

    the 
    whiskey 
    line 

    And 
    if 
    we 
    turn 
    the 
    right 
    cards 
    up

    They 
    make 
    us 
    boss 
    the 
    devil 
    pays 
    off 

    And 
    them 
    folk
    that 
    are 
    real 
    hard 
    up 

    They 
    get 
    their 
    local 
    hero 

    Some
    body 
    with the 
    right 
    style 

    They 
    get 
    their 
    local 
    hero 

    Some
    body 
    with 
    just 

    the 
    right 
    smile 

    Verse 3

    Well 
    learned 
    my 
    job 
    learned 
    it 
    well 

    Fit 
    myself 
    with 
    religion 

    and 
    a story 
    to tell 

    First 
    they 
    made 
    me 
    the king 

    then 
    they 
    made 
    me 
    pope 

    Then 
    they 
    brought 
    the 
    rope

    Verse 4
    woke 
    to 
    gypsy

    'Cept 
    I can
    't 
    tell 
    my 
    courage 

    from 
    my 
    desperation 

    From 
    the 
    tainted 
    chalice 

    Well 
    drunk 
    some 
    heady 
    wine 

    Tonight 
    I'm 
    layin' 
    here 

    But 
    there's something 
    in 
    my 
    ear 

    Sayin' 
    there's 
    little 
    town 
    just 

    beneath 
    the 
    floodline 

    Needs a local 
    hero 

    Some
    body 
    with the 
    right 
    style 

    Look

    Someone

    local 
    hero

    smile 

    Local 
    hero

    used 
    to 
    live here

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
