[Chorus]
E                 B             E
Well they say time loves a hero
             B
But only time will tell
            E
If he's real  he's a legend from heaven
                       B
If he ain't he was sent here from hell
        D
Hear me well
D
Seeing ain't always believing
D                                                C
Just make sure it's the truth that you're seeing
                    D
Eyes sometimes lie, eyes sometimes lie

They can be real deceiving

[Verse]
E              D      A       B7sus4
I got an uncle in Puerto Rico
            E
Spends his days in the sun
        G#        F#    B7sus4  E  D
And his nights in the casinos
A                     B7sus4
He left the States many years ago
E                       G      D    A
Took a fishin' boat to Puerto Rico
A
Now my aunt she is sad and lonely
A
She'll never know that she drove him away
B                                       E  B  E  B
As a coward I admire his courageous ways

[Chorus]
             E      B             E
Well they say   time loves a hero
            B
But only time will tell
            E         B                E
If he's real he's a legend from heaven
                        B
If he ain't he's a mouthpiece from hell

[Verse]
E  D  A                 B7sus4
      Some say my uncle that he's a zero
E                       G#       F#     B7sus4    E  D
His life as a shell, he left it back at stateside
A                   B7sus4
I'd say he's doing well without his shell
   E                          G      D    A
Bumming 'round the beaches of Puerto Rico
A
The beauty of the sunrise and sunset
A
To his friends he wish he could tell
B
They're at home still running for bells
B
Better San Juan than that blue collar hell

[Chorus]
          E   B
Well they say time loves a hero
E        B
But only time  will tell
            E           B                E
If he's real  he's a legend from heaven
                       B
If he ain't he was sent here from hell
