Eb                                                Bb                                   Eb
He was the kind of man that good men talk about
                                                        Bb
The way he showed his faith was how he lived it out
         Gm                                                                         Eb
His hands were rough and calloused and his shoes were old and torn
              Cm                                                                      F
And the lines that framed his smile were lines so well and deep and worn
      Eb                                      Dm                                          Cm
So what will be remembered    of what he left behind?
                                        F4             F
What will stand the test of time?

Bb                                                       F/A
How to love your neighbor and how to love your wife
                     Gm                                                       F                                        Eb
Wrap your arms around your children and pray with them each night
            Bb                                                                  F/A
Thank god for all the good things cause the good things are enough
         Gm                              Cm                              F                  Bb
The ties that bind and leave behind a legacy of love

Eb                                              Bb                                      Eb
He worked a second job to make the ends all meet
                                                        Bb
But somehow managed to always be there for me
Gm                                                               Eb
Taught me how to listen and how to stand for what is right
             Cm                                                                F                                  Eb
And he showed me all the things that really matter in this life

            Eb                                         Bb                                          Eb
And as i look into the eyes of my daughters and my sons
                                                                           Bb
I hope i?ve stood for something that they?ll want to carry on
           Gm                       F                        Eb                Dm
?cause life is far too short not to finally realize
               Cm                           Dm                               Eb                             F                       G
That it?s long enough to make a difference     in someone?s   life

            C                                                G/B
So i?m   gonna love my neighbor and i?m gonna love my wife
                   Am                                                      G                                                       F
Wrap my arms around my children and pray with them each night
               C                                                                         G/B
Thank god for all the good things cause the good things are enough
         Am                              Dm                       G                  C        G/B
The ties that bind and leave behind a legacy of love
         Am                              Dm                       G                  C        G/B      Am       G
The ties that bind and leave behind a legacy
                          Dm            Em               F              G       F      Em      Dm       C
A legacy of love,  of love,  of love
