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

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