[Verse 1]

[tab]D
I worked at a place

          Dsus4/B           Em11  Bm9  G
Where the bands came through

D
Some of them rang false

Dsus4/B     Em11  A7sus4
And some rang true

D                D/A   Bm7
I'd stick around

            Em11
After they played

            A7sus4          Gsus2  Dsus4/B
To see how legends are made
[Verse 2]
D
There's just a few

         Dsus4/B         Em11    Bm9  G
That stand out in my mind

D
Some of them still roll

Dsus4/B             Em11      A7sus4
And some are lost to the grind

D              D/A
Now you ask me

    Bm7            Em11
Of the special ones

                  A7sus4            Gsus2  Dsus4/B
And where all the legends have gone
[Verse 3]
D
There was a man

              Dsus4/B      Em11  Bm9  G
Who came from north of here

D
He could raise his voice

    Dsus4/B        Em11   A7sus4
And he could raise a beer

D                D/A
And when he left

Bm7        Em11
The music stayed

                A7sus4            Gsus2  Dsus4/B
And that's how legends are made
[Verse 4]
D
It surprised us to see

         Dsus4/B      Em11  Bm9  G
Just how high he stood

D
It was hard to believe

    Dsus4/B        Em11   A7sus4
Someone could sing that good

D                D/A
We shared more gold

Bm7               Em11
Then any band was paid

                A7sus4            Gsus2  Dsus4/B
And that's how legends are made
[Bridge]
Bm7                  Gadd2/D
So long, it was nice meeting you

Bm7
But how do you get back

   G    Dsus4/B  F4     Dsus4/B   Em11  A7sus4
To Route         twenty-two

         Gsus2   D   Gsus2   D
From Here?
{Verse 5]
D
The band was a bass man

Dsus4/B                Em11  Bm9  G
With a brother on lead

D
There was no more

       Dsus4/B    Em11   A7sus4
'Cause there was no need

D5              D/A
So fine to see

Bm7                 Em11
What they could give

                  A7sus4      Gsus2  D
'Cause legends call us to live
[Verse 6]
D
They came in high

    Dsus4/B         Em11  Bm9  G
And they came in low

D
Worn by the miles

  Dsus4/B          Em11  A7sus4
And fresh from home

D5               D/A
Hard work, magic

     Bm7            Em11
Then some tragic end

          A7sus4       Gsus2  D    Gsus2  D
And so a legend begins
[Bridge]
Bm7                  Gadd2/D
So long, it was nice meeting you

Bm7
But how do you get back

   G    Dsus4/B  F4     Dsus4/B   Em11  A7sus4
To Route         twenty-two

         Gsus2   D   Gsus2   D
From Here?
