Donovan - Local Boy Chops Wood Lyrics
He got weights on his shoulders
He got chains 'round his neck
'Fore he get very much older
He be a nervous wreck.
To keep him happy and high
You know 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 makes good, wasn't too strong.
One riff of his guitar
He's a rebel-romantic
With a death-wish dream.
Local boy chops wood, headlines read
Local boy makes good, watch him bleed
Local boy chops wood, what went wrong
Local boy makes good, wasn't too strong.
He keep ice in his young veins
To cool the fires in his head
It'll take more than double brandies
To dry the tears he shed.
Rock star found dead
Rock star found dead
Rock star found dead, what went wrong?
Rock star found dead, wasn't too strong.
Read all about it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Read all about it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rock star found dead
Rock star found dead

Donovan Local Boy Chops Wood Comments
The greatest title
Why the chopping of wood?
Donovan was a dear friend to Brian.
Hi called simply Donovan. I bought a copy today in St Albans at Empire Records. My copy is a USA pressing on Arista 4143. I know it is also on RAK. UK pressing but I don't know the CAT number for that one. E Bay might be a good place to look.
did not know this was about Brian Jones
I used to have this album, but it was "For Promotional Use Only". Was it ever released for sale? Anyone know? What's it called? What should I ask for? Wish I still had all my albums.
They might not be replaceable. Why am I the first to make a post here? This doesn't look good. Maybe I'll never find what I'm looking for. Oh yeah, that reminds me of Rikki Tikki Tavi, "I know what I'm looking for, but I just can't find it".
