CAPO I


INTRO: E  A  F#m  B


CHORUS:
         E                 A
I did my part, I tried my best
          F#m               B
I gave my heart, I took no rest
          E                   A
Time will tell, if I left my mark
                   F#m   B            A
But I'll know full well     I did my part


E                           A          E
When I look down that road, what do I see
B7                              A             E
My children's children lookin' right back at me
E                                  A          E
When they look back at me and I'm long gone away
 B7                           A
Will they think kindly of me when they hear me say


CHORUS


When I look down that hall, what do I see
A little baby crawlin' right back at me
I cannot walk for him, I cannot run
But I can hold his hand, and show him how it's done


CHORUS (use "I'll" instead of "I Did")


BRIDGE:
E               C#m7  
Build a family, build a city
F#m               B
Build a country, build a world


SOLO: E  C#m7 (hammer on C#m)   F#m   B

           E                A
Time will tell if I left my mark
                   F#m  B            A7
But I'll know full-well    I did my part
                 F#m  B            E
But I know full well    I did my part
