[F]
[Dm]
[Am] [Em] [F] [Dm]
[G] [C] A
[F] lonely child alone [C] and wild, a cabinetmaker's son.
[F] His hands were meant for [Am] different work, and [F] his heart was known to none.
[G] [C] He left his home and went [F] his lone [C] and solitary way.
He [Dm] gave to me the [Am] gift I know [G] I never can [C] repay.
A [F] quiet man of [C] music, denied a simpler [F] fate.
[Dm] He tried to be a [Am] soldier once, [F] but his music wouldn't wait.
[G] [C] [F] He earned his love through [G] [C] discipline, a [E] thundering [F] velvet hand.
And [Dm] his gentle means of [Am] scalding souls took [D] me years [G] to [C] understand.
The leader of his time [Dm] and his eyes are gold [Am] windows.
But [Bb] his blood runs through [Am] my instrument, and [Ab] his song [G] is in [D] my soul.
[G] [F] My life has been [C] for a gent [Dm] to imitate [Am] the man.
[F] I'm just a living [E]
legacy [Fm] to the [G] leader [C] of the band.
My [F] brother's lives were [C] different, for they had [E] another [F] call.
[Dm] One went to [Am] Chicago, and [F] the other to St.
Paul.
[G] [C] And [F] I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some [F] hotel.
[Dm] Living out this [E] life I chose, [Gb] and [G] come to know [C] so well.
