Intro
A F#m Bm A F#m D E7 A D A D E A
[Verse 1]
C#m F#m
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
Bm A/C# D E A
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
C#m F#m
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
Bm A/C# D E A
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
[Verse 2]
C#m F#m
B quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
Bm A/C# D E A
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
C#m F#m
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
Bm A/C# D E A D
And his gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
[Chorus]
C#m Bm A
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
D F#m D E D
His blood runs through my instrument, his song is in my soul
C#m Bm A
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
Bm F#m D A
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C#m F#m
My brothers' lives were different for they heard another call
Bm A/C# D E
One went to Chicago and the other to St. Paul
A C#m F#m
Now I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some motel
Bm A/C# D E A
Living out this life I chose and have come to know so well
[Verse 4]
C#m F#m
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
Bm A/C# D E
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
A C#m F#m
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you were tough
Bm A/C# D E A D
Sometimes I don't think I said "I love you" near enough
[Chorus]
C#m Bm A
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
D F#m D E D
His blood runs through my instrument, his song is in my soul
C#m Bm A
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
Bm F#m D A
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[Outro]
