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

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