Intro
F Dm Gm F Dm A# C7 F A# F A# C F
[Verse 1]
Am Dm
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
Gm F/A A# C F
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
Am Dm
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
Gm F/A A# C F
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
G quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
Gm F/A A# C F
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
Am Dm
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
Gm F/A A# C F A#
And his gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
[Chorus]
Am Gm F
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
A# Dm A# C A#
His blood runs through my instrument, his song is in my soul
Am Gm F
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
Gm Dm A# F
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[Instrumental]

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