Verse 1

G5
I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
G5  D5        A5          B5
I enjoy an accolade like the rest
G5           D5             Bb?7            B5
if you could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
             E5          E5           D5           D5
with all the who's who and so and so's that used to be the best
    E5                       A5              G5 ? D5 ? G5 - D5
at such and such ...it wouldn't matter much
G5    D5              G5                   
I won't lie it feels alright to see your name in lights
G5   D5           A5         B5
we all need an atta boy or atta girl
G5      D5        Bb?7            B5
in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides 
    E5                        G5
the temporary trappings of this world

CHORUS:
                  D5
I wanna leave a legacy 
                 A5
How will they remember me
              B5
Did I choose to love 
      G5                             D5
Did I point to you enough to make a mark on things
                   Bb?7    B5
I want to leave an offering
           G5                   D5                      E5        A5
A child of mercy and grace who blessed your name unapologetically
                              G5 ? D5 ? G5 - D5
And leave that kind of legacy

Verse 2

G5   D5                  G5        D5 
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile 
G5     D5                 A5        B5
To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy.
G5   D5         Bb?7           B5
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
      E5            E5               D5            G5
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy. 

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Bb5                  G5         F5
Not well-traveled not well-read
Bb5                       G5    F5
Not well to do or well-bred
C5                 A5       G5
I just want to hear instead
            C5           A5     G5        D5  A5  B5  G5
"Well done," good and faithful one!
