Intro
B G#m C#m B G#m E F#7 B E B E F# B
[Verse 1]
D#m G#m
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
C#m B/D# E F# B
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
D#m G#m
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
C#m B/D# E F# B
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
[Verse 2]
D#m G#m
C# quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
C#m B/D# E F# B
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
D#m G#m
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
C#m B/D# E F# B E
And his gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
[Chorus]
D#m C#m B
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
E G#m E F# E
His blood runs through my instrument, his song is in my soul
D#m C#m B
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
C#m G#m E B
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[Instrumental]

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