INTRO: G C G
Some folks say that [C]this life ain't worth [G]living
Some folks say that life is just a [D]lie[A][D]
You can [C]take so much from a man
He'll [G]give you all he [C]can
When he's [G]had e[C]nough, he'll [D]just one up and [G]die
CHORUS:
He was a [C]legend in his time, I don't [G]know the reason why
When he'd sing a [C]song, you [G]know I'd like to [D]cry[A][D]
Now he's [G]on the other side, standing [C]on god's golden shore
[G]Singing [C]country [D]music for the [G]lord
Now a singing life was [C]all he ever [G]wanted
But a travelling life can make a man feel [D]tired[A][D]
Lay your [C]fortune on the line
Twenty-[G]six ain't past your [C]prime
Now the [G]angel [C]band has [D]one more for the [G]choir
CHORUS:
He was a [C]legend in his time, I don't [G]know the reason why
When he'd sing a [C]song, you [G]know I'd like to [D]cry[A][D]
Now he's [G]on the other side, standing [C]on god's golden shore
[G]Singing [C]country [D]music for the [G]lord
INSTRUMENTAL:
Some folks think that [C]this life ain't worth [G]living
But if you have a song to sing you'll last a[D]while[A][D]
And we'll [C]hear his songs again
Coming [G]in on a hickory [C]wind
Grievous [G]angel [C]right be[D]side him one more [G]mile
CHORUS:
He was a [C]legend in his time, I don't [G]know the reason why
When he'd sing a [C]song, you [G]know I'd like to [D]cry[A][D]
