I built upon what Danny had done below. Feel free to correct where needed.
Email w/ corrections, questions, etc.
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 he ain't he was sent here from hell
Some say my uncle, that he's a zero
His life is as a shell, he left it back at Stateside
I'd say he's doin' pretty well, without his shell
Bumming 'round the beaches of Puerto Rico
The beauty of the sunrise and sunset
To his friends he wish he could tell
They're at home still runnin' for bells
Better San Juan than that blue collar hell
Well they say time loves a hero
