[Intro]
G7 G7 C
G7 G7 C
Am Em D
G C/G G C/G G C/G G
[Verse 1]
G C/G 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 G Bm C
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
Am Em Am D7 G C/G G C/G G C/G G
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
[Verse 2]
G C/G 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 G Bm C
He earned his love through discipline, a thund'ring velvet hand
Am Em Am D7 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 C/G G C/G G C/G G
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[Verse 3]
G C/G G Bm C
My brothers' lives were different for they heard another call
