[Verse 1]
G An only C/Gchild aGlone and wild, a Bmcabinet maker's Cson
Am His hands were meant for Emdifferent work and his Amheart was known to Cnone D
G He left his C/Ghome and Gwent his lone and Bmsolitary Cway
And he Amgave to me a gEmift I know I Amnever D7can reGpayC/G G C/G G C/G G
[Verse 2]
G A quiet C/Gman of Gmusic, deBmnied a simpler Cfate
Am He tried to be a Emsoldier once but his Ammusic wouldn't Cwait D
G He earned his C/Glove through Gdiscipline, a Bmthund'ring velvet Chand
His Amgentle means of Emsculpting souls took me Amyears to D7underGstand
[Chorus]
C The leader of the Bmband is tired and his Ceyes are growing Gold
But his Amblood runs through my Eminstrument and his Amsong is in my Fso-Doul
C My life has been a Bmpoor attempt,C to imitate the Gman
I'm Amjust a living Emlegacy to the Amleader Cof the GbandC/G G C/G G C/G G
[Verse 3]
G My brothers' C/Glives were Gdifferent for they Bmheard another Ccall
AmOne went to ChiEmcago, and the Amother to St. CPaul D
G And I'm in C/GColoGrado when I'm Bmnot in some hoCtel
AmLiving out this Emlife I chose and Amcome to D7know so GwelC/Gl G

G I thank you C/Gfor the Gmusic and your Bmstories of the Croad
Am I thank you for the Emfreedom when it Amcame my time to Cgo D

And AmPapa, I don't Emthink I said "I Amlove you" D7near eGnough
