The Legend And The Man chords by Conway Twitty

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:

D  C  C/B  D

D
They all reach to touch him
      A
As he walks out on the stage

They came to see the legend
                       D
And to hear the legend sing

          D
While the men sit there applauding
       A
Ladies love him with their eyes

And he looks just like a legend should
G           A         D
Up there in all those lights

Verse 1:
               D
But they don't know after the show
    Am              G
How fast the legend fades
       A
How he reaches for the bottle
                     D
When guitars are put away

             D
And the photograph of the love he had
Am                  G
Fills his trembling hand
                          D
There's a lonely world of difference
            A              D
Between the legend and the man

D  C  C/B  D

Verse 2:
D
He's won all the shiny statues
        A
All the records pressed in gold

But he lost what really matters
                      D
What he really wanted most

                A       D
And tonight in some big city
A
Lord, he'll drive the crowd insane

They'll feel the pleasure of his songs
    Em         A        D
But they won't feel his pain

D
'Cause they don't know after the show
    Am               G
How fast the legend fades
       A
How he reaches for the bottle
                       D
When guitars are put away

Verse 3:

And the photograph of the love he had
                    G
Fills his trembling hand
                          D
There's a lonely world of difference
            A              D
Between the legend and the man
          G               D
There's a lonely world of difference
            A              D
Between the legend and the man...
