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

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