Intro
C Am Dm C Am F G7 C F C F G C
[Verse 1]
Em Am
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
Dm C/E F G C
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
Em Am
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
Dm C/E F G C
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
[Verse 2]
Em Am
D quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
Dm C/E F G C
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
Em Am
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
Dm C/E F G C F
And his gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
[Chorus]
Em Dm C
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
F Am F G F
His blood runs through my instrument, his song is in my soul
Em Dm C
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
Dm Am F C
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[Instrumental]

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