Verse:
G /G) G Bm CAn only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
Am Em Am C DHis hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none.
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
Am Em Am D7 G /G) G /G) G /G) GAnd he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
G /G) G Bm CA quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once but his music wouldn't wait
G /G) G Bm CHe earned his love through discipline, a thund'ring velvet hand
Am Em Am D7 GHis 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
. 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
/G) G /G) G /G) G
G /G) G Bm C
My brothers' lives were different for they heard another call
One went to Chicago, the other to St. Paul
G /G) G Bm CAnd I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Am Em Am D7 G /G) GLiving out this life I chose and come to know so well
(no lyrics)
G /G) G Bm CI thank you for the music and your stories of the road
Am Em Am C DI thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
Am Em Am D7 GAnd papa I don't think I said "I love you" near enough.
(Chorus followed by ending: )
. I am the living legacy to the leader of the band
