 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.

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)
