Listen to the timing of the verse where it goes E then D to A, then to the B
(the "got an uncle in Puerto Rico" part), as well as the other changes.


Main Riff/Intro:
                                               
E-------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------
D-----2-------------------------------
A---------2h4--2—(2)------2-----------
E---0-----------------3h4----2~h3-0---



Chorus/Main Riff: E                     
Well they say time loves a hero, but only time will tell
If he's real, he's a legend from heaven
If he ain't he was sent here from hell
       
        D
Hear me well
Seein' ain't always believin'
Just make sure it's the truth that you're seein'
C                   D
Eyes sometimes lie, eyes sometimes lie
They can be real deceivin'

E                D  A                               
I got an Uncle in   Puerto Rico
B7sus4
Spends his days in the sun
    E         G#    F#
His nights in the casinos
E    D  A                           B7sus4
            He left the States many years ago
B7sus4                 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
     B7sus4
As a coward I admire his courageous ways


Piano lead over Chorus


Chorus: E & D
Well they say time loves a hero
But only time will tell
If he's real, he's a legend from heaven
If he ain't he's a mouthpiece from hell


Guitar Solo over Intro then Chorus, then to the A-D-E  (gotta feel it out)

Walk Up: C#m (hold)   C > D > E


E  D A                         B7sus4
       Some say my uncle, that he's a zero
    E                   G#      F#      B7sus4
His life as a shell, he left it back at Stateside
E  D A                         B7sus4
       I'd say he's doin' well,  without his shell
B7sus4                        G      D  A 
Bummin 'round the beaches of Puerto Rico
A
The beauty of the sunrise and sunset, to his friends he wish he could tell
B7sus4
They're at home still runnin' for bells
n/c
Better San Juan than that blue collar hell

Repeat Chorus #1

Guitar Solo over Chorus Melody > last chorus "tiiiime loves a hero" & "so they say"

If you guys want me to tab out any of the guitar licks, solo, etc. just let me know.

PS - the B7sus4 can be played just as a B or B7, especially if you've got a full band in the mix (keys/bass) playing their parts.  But, if not, here's the B7sus4:

e 7
B 7
G 9
D 7
A 9
E 7
