Legend in Your Own Time Lyrics
by Carly Simon
#5
Well, I have known you ...since you were a small boy,
And your mama used to say,
'Well, my boy is gonna grow up, and be some kind of leader some day!'
Then you'd turn on the radio, and sing with the singer in the band,
Your mama would say to you,
D9 E7 E7#5 E7 *
'This isn't exactly what we had planned!' | / / / / |
horus
But you're a legend in your own time,
(You are...) A hero in the footlights,
(Legend-----------!) Playing tunes to fit your rhyme,
But a legend's only a lonely boy when he goes home alone!
ridge
And though I know you ...still have the heart of that small boy,
Well, you lend it out far too much,
And no one woman loving you can ever feel that she's been really touched!
Then you'd turn on the radio, and sing with the singer in the band,
Think kinda sadly to yourself, 'This isn't exactly what you had planned!'
horus
But you're a legend in your own time,
(You are...) A hero in the footlights,
(Legend-----------!) Playing tunes to fit your rhyme,
But a legend's only a lonely boy when he goes home alone!
oda
Well, a legend's only a lonely boy--------...
...When he goes home alone----------! | / / / / | / / / / |
Repeat, ad -lib and fade
||: Humm----- mm-mm, mm -mm,mm! :||
