Verse 1

G9
I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
G9  D/F#        A/C#          Bm
I enjoy an accolade like the rest
G9           D/F#             Bb?7            Bm
if you could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
             E/Ab          E?/G           D/F#           D?/F
with all the who's who and so and so's that used to be the best
    Em7                       A              G9 ? D ? G9 - D
at such and such ...it wouldn't matter much
G9    D              G9                   
I won't lie it feels alright to see your name in lights
G9   D/F#           A/C#         Bm
we all need an atta boy or atta girl
G9      D/F#        Bb?7            Bm
in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides 
    E/Ab                        G
the temporary trappings of this world

CHORUS:
                  D
I wanna leave a legacy 
                 A/C#
How will they remember me
              Bm
Did I choose to love 
      G                             D
Did I point to you enough to make a mark on things
                   Bb?7    Bm
I want to leave an offering
           G                   D/F#                      Em        A
A child of mercy and grace who blessed your name unapologetically
                              G9 ? D ? G9 - D
And leave that kind of legacy

Verse 2

G9   D                  G        D 
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile 
G9     D                 A/C#        Bm
To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy.
G9   D/F#         Bb?7           Bm
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
      E/Ab            E?/G               D/F#            G
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy. 

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Bb                  Gm         F/A
Not well-traveled not well-read
Bb                       Gm    F/A
Not well to do or well-bred
C                 Am       G/B
I just want to hear instead
            C           Am     G/B        D  A/C#  Bm  G
"Well done," good and faithful one!
