Roger McGuinn Living Legend written by Roger McGuinn
G C
Everybody called him a living legend
D G
But just being a legend didn't make him a living
C
And every day on the job his mind went spinning
D G
Back to twenty years ago and all the shows he was giving
G Am
He's a living legend he's got nowhere to go
C D C D
What he'd give to be on the road and to do another show
G Am
He's a living legend oh how he loved that life
C D C D G
Now he works in the factory and he just drinks beer at night
G C
Some of the younger stars grew up on his music
D G
And they liked his style so much they decided to use it
C
When he heard his songs on the radio he started to lose it
D G
But when the big money came in he couldn't refuse it
G Am
He's a living legend he's got nowhere to go
C D C D
What he'd give to be on the road and to do another show
G Am
He's a living legend oh how he loved that life
C D C D G
Now he works in the factory and he just drinks beer at night
G C
One day he brought his old guitar to the factory picnic
D G
And B.J. the country DJ heard him play it
G C
And everybody was still amazed at how well he could still pick
D G
And they booked him in the Golden Eagle before you could say it
G Am
He's a living legend he's got somewhere to go
C D C D
He's so glad to be on the road and to do another show
G Am
He's a living legend oh how he loves his life
C D C D G
And now he plays his music for the people every night
Am D C D G
And now he plays his music for the people every night
Unreleased song performed in the mid 80's
