_ A lonely child alone and [Ab] wild, [Bbm] a cabinet [B] maker's son. _
_ [Abm] His hands were [Ebm] meant for different work, but [Abm] his heart was [B] known to none.
[Gb] _ [Db] _ [Gb] _ [Ebm] He left his home and [Gb] went his [Ab] long, [Bbm] _ solitary _ [B]
way.

_ _ _ [B] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ A [Ebm] quiet man of [Gb] music [Bbm] denied _ a [B] simpler fate.
_ [Abm] He tried to be [Ebm] a soldier once, [Abm] but his music [B] wouldn't _ [Gb] wait.
_ _ [Ebm] He earned his love through [Gb] _
discipline, [Bbm] a thundering, velvet [B] _
hand.
[Gb] And [Abm] his gentle [Ebm] means of sculpting souls [Abm] took me [Db] years to [Gb] _
understand.
_ [B] _ The leader [Ab] of the [Bbm] band is tired [B] and his eyes are growing [Gb] _ old.

Paul.
[Db] _ [Gb] _ But I'm [B] in _ [Gb] Colorado when I'm [Bbm] not in some [B] _ hotel.
_ _ [Abm] Living [Ebm] out this life I've chose [Abm] and come [Db] to [Gb] know so [Ebm] well.
