Living legend
G - C
F C
1. Was it bitter then, with
our backs against the wall ?
G C
Were we better men than we'd
ever been before ?
F C
Say, if she came again today, would
you still answer to the call ?
G C
Tell the truth, my friend, don't
it matter anymore ?
F C
2. We were simple men, by her
side when she was born,
G C
it
was simple then, like the freedom when you fall.
F C
We were smaller then, you see,
but soon we gathered like a storm,
G C
they
don't understand what that thunder meant at all.

3. Was he crucified, was he
done in by the law ?
G C
Are you satisfied that he'll
never ride again ?
F
C
Some people say he got away, they
say he never died at all,
G C
if
that story's true, does it bother you, my friend ?
