Hi,
This is my first tab! I hope to put a video of me singing it on YouTube soon so keep an 
eye out here, I'll post the link :)
Let me know feedback, literally the first tab I've ever written, hope it's ok.

To fit the original there is NO CAPO required.. I like to sing it on Capo3 and sing the 
high bits the octave down because I'm not Beyonce as much as I wish I was!

  Em             Em                  C
I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time

                G
Know there was something that

       D             Em       C
Meant something that I left behind

     Am
When I leave this world,

     G
I'll leave no regrets

      Am
Leave something to remember,

    D
So they won't forget


      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...

G        D
I lived, I loved

      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...


G       D               Em          C
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

          G             D               Em
And it was more than I thought it would be

       C             G                D
I will leave my mark so everyone will know

      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...



  Em            C
I want to say I lived each day,

  D      Em
Until I die


    Em                  D           G         C
And know that I meant something in somebody's life

    Am
The hearts I have touched,

             G
Will be the proof that I leave

     C
That I made a difference

     D
And this world will see



      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...

G        D
I lived, I loved

      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...


G       D               Em          C
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

          G             D               Em
And it was more than I thought it would be

       C             G                D
I will leave my mark so everyone will know

      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...




      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...

G        D
I lived, I loved

      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...


G       D               Em          C
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

          G             D               Em
And it was more than I thought it would be

       C             G                D
I will leave my mark so everyone will know

      Em
I was he-e-e-ere...


       Em            C
I just want them to know

        G
That I gave my all,

G
Did my best

D                    D
Brought someone some happiness

     Em                   C              D
Left this world a little better just because...

   Em
I was here...


      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...

G        D
I lived, I loved

      Em      C
I was he-e-e-ere...


G       D               Em          C
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

          G             D               Em
And it was more than I thought it would be

       C             G                D
I will leave my mark so everyone will know

      Em
I was he-e-e-ere...
