[Verse]
C# F#/C# C# Fm F#
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
D#m A#m D#m F# G#
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
C# F#/C# C# Fm F#
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
D#m A#m D#m G#7 C# F#/C# C# F#/C# C# F#/C# C#
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
C# F#/C# C# Fm F#
D# quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
D#m A#m D#m F# G#
He tried to be a soldier once but his music wouldn't wait
C# F#/C# C# Fm F#
He earned his love through discipline, a thund'ring velvet hand
D#m A#m D#m G#7 C#
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
[Chorus]
F# Fm F# C#
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
D#m A#m D#m B G#
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
F# Fm F# C#
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
D#m A#m D#m F# C#
I'm just a living legacy to the lea der of the band
[Instrumental]
F#/C# C# F#/C# C# F#/C# C#
C# F#/C# C# Fm F#
My brothers' lives were different for they heard another call
D#m A#m D#m F# G#
One went to Chicago, the other to St Paul
C# F#/C# C# Fm F#
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
D#m A#m D#m G#7 C# F#/C# C#
Living out this life I chose and come to know so well
[Instrumental]
C#7 F# D#m A#m G#7 C# F#/C# C# F#/C# C# F#/C# C#
[Verse]
C# F#/C# C# Fm F#
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
D#m A#m D#m F# G#
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
C# F#/C# C# Fm F#
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
D#m A#m D#m G#7 C#
And papa I don't think I said "I love you" near enough
[Chorus]
F# Fm F# C#
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
D#m A#m D#m B G#
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
F# Fm F# C#
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
D#m A#m D#m F# C#
I'm just a living legacy to the lea der of the band
[Outro]
D#m A#m D#m F# G# C#
I am the living legacy to the leader of the band
