Legend In His Time

INTRO: G  C  G

                    C                     G
Some folks say that this life ain't worth living
                                   D   A  D
Some folks say that life is just a lie
        C
You can take so much from a man
      G               C
He'll give you all he can
          G    C            D               G
When he's had enough, he'll just one up and die


CHORUS:
         C                           G
He was a legend in his time, I don't know the reason why
                 C         G                D   A  D
When he'd sing a song, you know I'd like to cry
         G                           C
Now he's on the other side, standing on god's golden shore
G       C       D             G
Singing country music for the lord


                       C           G
Now a singing life was all he ever wanted
                                          D     A  D
But a travelling life can make a man feel tired
         C
Lay your fortune on the line
       G                   C
Twenty-six ain't past your prime
        G     C        D                G
Now the angel band has one more for the choir


CHORUS:
         C                           G
He was a legend in his time, I don't know the reason why
                 C         G                D   A  D
When he'd sing a song, you know I'd like to cry
         G                           C
Now he's on the other side, standing on god's golden shore
G       C       D             G
Singing country music for the lord


INSTRUMENTAL:


                      C                     G
Some folks think that this life ain't worth living
                                            D     A  D
But if you have a song to sing you'll last awhile
          C
And we'll hear his songs again
       G               C
Coming in on a hickory wind
         G     C       D                 G
Grievous angel right beside him one more mile


CHORUS:
         C                           G
He was a legend in his time, I don't know the reason why
                 C         G                D   A  D
When he'd sing a song, you know I'd like to cry
         G                           C
Now he's on the other side, standing on god's golden shore
G       C       D             G       C  D  G
Singing country music for the lord
