Intro
E C#m F#m E C#m A B7 E A E A B E
[Verse 1]
G#m C#m
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
F#m E/G# A B E
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
G#m C#m
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
F#m E/G# A B E
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
[Verse 2]
G#m C#m
F# quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
F#m E/G# A B E
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
G#m C#m
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
F#m E/G# A B E A
And his gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
[Chorus]
G#m F#m E
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
A C#m A B A
His blood runs through my instrument, his song is in my soul
G#m F#m E
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
F#m C#m A E
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[Instrumental]

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