Eb5                                                Bb5                                   Eb5
He was the kind of man that good men talk about
                                                        Bb5
The way he showed his faith was how he lived it out
         G5                                                                         Eb5
His hands were rough and calloused and his shoes were old and torn
              C5                                                                      F5
And the lines that framed his smile were lines so well and deep and worn
      Eb5                                      D5                                          C5
So what will be remembered    of what he left behind?
                                        F5             F5
What will stand the test of time?

Bb5                                                       F5
How to love your neighbor and how to love your wife
                     G5                                                       F5                                        Eb5
Wrap your arms around your children and pray with them each night
            Bb5                                                                  F5
Thank god for all the good things cause the good things are enough
         G5                              C5                              F5                  Bb5
The ties that bind and leave behind a legacy of love

Eb5                                              Bb5                                      Eb5
He worked a second job to make the ends all meet
                                                        Bb5
But somehow managed to always be there for me
G5                                                               Eb5
Taught me how to listen and how to stand for what is right
             C5                                                                F5                                  Eb5
And he showed me all the things that really matter in this life

            Eb5                                         Bb5                                          Eb5
And as i look into the eyes of my daughters and my sons
                                                                           Bb5
I hope i?ve stood for something that they?ll want to carry on
           G5                       F5                        Eb5                D5
?cause life is far too short not to finally realize
               C5                           D5                               Eb5                             F5                       G5
That it?s long enough to make a difference     in someone?s   life

            C5                                                G5
So i?m   gonna love my neighbor and i?m gonna love my wife
                   A5                                                      G5                                                       F5
Wrap my arms around my children and pray with them each night
               C5                                                                         G5
Thank god for all the good things cause the good things are enough
         A5                              D5                       G5                  C5        G5
The ties that bind and leave behind a legacy of love
         A5                              D5                       G5                  C5        G5      A5       G5
The ties that bind and leave behind a legacy
                          D5            E5               F5              G5       F5      E5      D5       C5
A legacy of love,  of love,  of love
