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

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