  			A Legend in My Time             (Don Gibson)     

G                     C         D               G 
If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game 
    C      D             G 
I'd be a legend in my time. 
        G              C        D               G 
If they gave gold statuettes for tears and regrets, 
 C              D        G 
I'd be a legend in my time. 

 
       B7                               E 
But they don't give awards, and there's no praise or fame 
    A                                   D 
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain. 

      G                         C               
If loneliness meant world acclaim, 
        D                      G 
Then everyone would know my name 
C            D           G   
I'd be a legend in my time. 

Refrain 

Outro  
   G                            C               
If loneliness meant world acclaim, 
     D                      G 
Then everyone would know my name 
C            D           Em             C           D           G 
I'd be a legend in my time,             I'd be a legend in my time
