Legend In Your Own Time chords by Carly Simon

Chords with lyrics

Intro: E7#5

 Dm7Dm7
Well I have known you
         Dm7Dm7
Since you were a small boy
     Dm7Dm7
And your mama used to say
  Am7Am7
My boy is gonna grow up and be
 Dm7Dm7
Some kind of leader some day

E7E7
Then you'd turn on the radio
   A major 6A6
And sing with the singer in the band
Am7Am7
And your mama would say to you
    E7E7
This isn't exactly what she had planned

        Dm7Dm7
But you're a 🏷Legend in your own time
Dm7Dm7
A augmentedA hero in the footlights
Dm7Dm7
Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme
      E7E7
But a 🏷Legends only a lonely boy
     Dm7Dm7
When he goes home alone.

E7E7

Dm7Dm7
And although I know you
Dm7Dm7
Still have the heart of that small boy
Dm7Dm7
Well, you lend it out far too much
Dm7Dm7
And no one woman loving you
Dm7Dm7
Can ever tell if she's been really touched

E7E7
Then you turn on the radio
   A major 6A6
And sing with the singer in the band
Am7Am7
And think kind of sadly to yourself
E7E7
This isn't exactly what you had planned

        Dm7Dm7
But you're a 🏷Legend in your own time
Dm7Dm7
A augmentedA hero in the footlights
Dm7Dm7
Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme
      E7E7
But a 🏷Legends only a lonely boy
     Am7Am7
