Testo

[Intro]
| G7 | -  | C | - |
| Am | Em | D | G |
| -  | -  | - |

[Verse 1]
G
 An only child alone and wild
  Bm                C
A cabinet maker's son
Am                            Em
  His hands were meant for different work
        Am                 C D
And his heart was known to none
G
 He left his home and went his lone
    Bm       C
And solitary way
       Am             Em
And he gave to me a gift
         Am    D     G
I know I never can repay

[Verse 2]
G
 A quiet man of music
     Bm            C
Denied a simpler fate
Am                   Em
  He tried to be a soldier once
        Am                C D
But his music wouldn't wai_t
G
 He earned his love through discipline
      Bm               C
A thundering, velvet hand
    Am                   Em
His gentle means of sculpting souls
        Am       D    G
Took me years to understand

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

[Verse 3]
G
 My brothers' lives were different
         Bm              C
For they heard another call
Am               Em
One went to Chicago
        Am             C   D
And the other to Saint Paul
G
 And I'm in Colorado
         Bm              C
When I'm not in some hotel
Am                Em
Living out this life I've chose
    Am      D       G
And come to know so well

[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
G
 I thank you for the music
         Bm             C
And your stories of the road
Am                        Em
  I thank you for the freedom
          Am              C D
When it came my time to go
G
 I thank you for the kindness
          Bm               C
And the times when you got tough
     Am           Em
And, papa I don't think I said
  Am       D     G
I love you near enough

[Chorus]
C                    Bm
 The leader of the band is tired
        C                 G
And his eyes are growing old
        Am                    Em
But his blood runs through my instrument
        Am            F  D
And his song is in my soul
C                      Bm
 My life has been a poor attempt
C                 G
 To imitate the man
    Am              Em
I'm just a living legacy
       Am     C      G
To the leader of the band
  Am            Em
I am the living legacy
       Am     C D    G
To the leader of the band.
