Local Boy Chops Wood Lyrics - Donovan

He got weights on his shoulders 

He got chains round his neck 

'Fore he get very much older 

He be a nervous wreck 

Local boy chops wood, headlines read 

Local boy makes good, watch him bleed 

Local boy chops wood, what went wrong? 

Local boy make good, wasn't too strong? 

Plenty hangers on 

To keep him happy and high 

But deep down inside him 

You can hear him cry

Local boy chops wood, headlines read 

Local boy makes good, watch him bleed 

Local boy chops wood, what went wrong? 

Local boy chops wood, wasn't too strong? 

One riff of his guitar 

He gonna change the whole scene 

He's a rebel romantic 

With a death wish dream 

He keep ice in his young veins 

To cool the fires in his head 

Takes more than double, double brandy 

To dry the tears he shed
