Legend In Your Own Time Chords

(ver. 2)
Carly Simon
[Verse 1]
E7#5                Am9      Dm7                    Am9        Dm7
      Well, I have known you   ...since you were a small boy,
          Am9         Dm7
And your mama used to say,
          Am9                       Dm7                    Am9        Dm7
'Well, my boy is gonna grow up, and be some kind of leader some day!'


[Verse 2]
            E7                    Amaj7
Then you'd turn on the radio, and sing with the singer in the band,
Am9
     Your mama would say to you,
       D9                E7                 E7#5   E7 *
'This isn't exactly what we had planned!' |  /  /  /  /  |


[Chorus]
               Am9          Dm7 
But you're a legend in your own time,
               Am9          Dm7
(You are...) A hero in the footlights,
               Am9                     Dm7
(Legend-----------!)  Playing tunes to fit your rhyme,
        D9              E7           Am9                   Dm7
But a legend's only a lonely boy when he goes home alone!


[Bridge]
  Am9             Dm7            E    F#m11/E   Em7   E7
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |


[Verse 3]
              Am9         Dm7                          Am9
And though I know you ...still have the heart of that small boy,
Dm7             Am9                Dm7
     Well, you lend it out far too much,
    Am9                 Dm7                                Am9           Dm7
And no one woman loving you can ever feel that she's been really touched!


[Verse 4]
            E7                    Amaj7
Then you'd turn on the radio, and sing with the singer in the band,
 Am9                                  D9                E7
Think kinda sadly to yourself, 'This isn't exactly what you had planned!'


[Chorus]
               Am9          Dm7
But you're a legend in your own time,
               Am9          Dm7
(You are...) A hero in the footlights,
               Am9                     Dm7
(Legend-----------!)  Playing tunes to fit your rhyme,
        D9              E7            Am9                  Dm7
But a legend's only a lonely boy when he goes home alone!


[Coda]
   Am9            Dm7
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

           D9              E7
 Well, a legend's only a lonely boy--------...

       Am9                 Dm7  Am9   Dm7    Am9            Dm7
...When he goes home alone----------!     |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

      Am9      Dm7
||:  Humm----- mm-mm, mm -mm,mm!  :|| [Repeat, ad -lib and fade]
