[Intro]

G C Am Em D G C G C G C G

[Verse]

G              C         G                      Bm                  C
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
Am                                     Em                             Am                         C      D
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
G                C             G                         Bm          C
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
             Am               Em               Am    D       G    C G C G C G
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
G           C         G              Bm                 C
A quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
Am                        Em                       Am                     C  D
He tried to be a soldier once but his music wouldn't wait
G             C        G                                      Bm                    C
He earned his love through discipline, a thund'ring velvet hand
        Am                    Em                                 Am       D            G
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand

[Chorus]

C                         Bm                          C                           G
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
            Am                               Em                         Am                F     D
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
C                           Bm                     C                 G
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
   Am                Em               Am      C          G
I'm just a living legacy to the lea der of the band

[Instrumental]

C G C G C G

G                  C               G                        Bm                  C
My brothers' lives were different for they heard another call
Am                    Em           Am            C   D
One went to Chicago, the other to St Paul
G                 C      G                Bm                    C
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Am                  Em                    Am         D          G    C G
Living out this life I chose and come to know so well

[Instrumental]
