D Bm Em D Bm G A7 D G D G A D
[Verse 1]
F#m Bm
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
Em D/F# G A D
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
F#m Bm
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
Em D/F# G A D
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
[Verse 2]
F#m Bm
E quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
Em D/F# G A D
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
F#m Bm
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
Em D/F# G A D G
And his gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
[Chorus]
F#m Em D
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
G Bm G A G
His blood runs through my instrument, his song is in my soul
F#m Em D
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
Em Bm G D
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[Instrumental]

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