Carly Simon

Legend In Your Own Time from Anticipation - 1971

Intro: E7#5

Am7 Dm7
Well I have known you
Am7 Dm7
Since you were a small boy
Am7 Dm7
And your mama used to say

Am7
My boy is gonna grow up and be
Dm7 Am7 Dm7
Some kind of leader some day

E7
Then you'd turn on the radio
A6
And sing with the singer in the band
Am7
And your mama would say to you
Bm E7
This isn't exactly what she had planned

Am7 Dm7
But you're a legend in your own time
Am7 Dm7
A hero in the footlights
Am7 Dm7
Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme
Bm E7
But a legends only a lonely boy
Am7 Dm7
When he goes home alone.

Dm7 Am7 Dm7 E E7

Am7 Dm7
And although I know you
Am7 Dm7
Still have the heart of that small boy
Am7 Dm7
Well, you lend it out far too much
Am7 Dm7
And no one woman loving you
Am7 Dm7
Can ever tell if she's been really touched

E7
Then you turn on the radio
A6
And sing with the singer in the band
Am7
And think kind of sadly to yourself
Bm E7
This isn't exactly what you had planned

Am7 Dm7
But you're a legend in your own time
Am7 Dm7
A hero in the footlights
Am7 Dm7
Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme
Bm E7
But a legends only a lonely boy
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm7 Am7
When he goes home alone.... (Ab lib)
