[Intro]
| F | G Am | F | G C |
| F | G Am | F | G C |
[Verse 1]
F C/E
We were born during the boom times
G C
Played house down in the bomb shelter
F C/E
Suffered through the wonder years
G C
And silence at the dinner hour
Am G F
But once upon a summertime, out behind the old garage
Am G F G
We were buzzing on midnight, Luckys and Rolling Rock
[Chorus]
C F G C F G
Thinking we were heroes in our own hometown
Am F G C F G C
Nothing less than heroes in that old hometown
[Verse 2]
F C/E
Some married on a day in June
G C
Some disappeared without a trace
F C/E
And some of us are still at large
G C
Still searching for a better place
Am G F
But once upon another time, it didn't matter what they said
Am G F G
Didn't matter if we fell behind, we'd still come out ahead
[Chorus]
C F G C F G
Cause we believed in heroes in that old hometown
Am F G C F G C
Hey, you could be a hero in your own hometown
[Bridge]
