_ _ _ Lonely child alone and wild [Bm] he's a cabin maker [G] son
[D] _ _ [Em] His hands were meant [Bm] for different work, [Em] but his heart was [G] known
_ [B] _
[D] He left his home and went his long [F#] and
_ [F#m] solitary [D] _ way
[Em] And he gave to me [Bm] a gift.

_ _ _ _ _ _ Quite man music [Bm] he denied a [D] simple fate
_ _ [Em] _ Tried to be a [Bm] soldier once [Em] but his music [G] wouldn't wait
[B] _ _ [D] He earned his love and discipline [C#] a [F#m] thundering [G] velvet hand
[D] _ [Em] His gentle means [Bm] of sculpting souls took me [B] years to _ [D] understand _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ Leader [F#m] of the band is tired [G] and his eyes are [Bm] growing [D] old
But [E] his blood runs through [Bm] my instrument [Em] and his song is [G] in my [B] soul
_ _ [G] My life has [F#m] been a poor [G] attempt
To imitate [D] the man.
_ I'm [Em] just a [Bm] living _

Oh, they [F#m]
heard [D] another call
_ _ [Em] one man to [Bm] _ Chicago [Em] and the other [G] to St.
[B] Paul
_ [D] But I'm in _ [D] Colorado
[Bm] When I'm [F#m] not in some [D] hotel
