Leader of the band
Dan Fogelberg
chords: simonpalawan
intro: C/G C Am Em D* C/G - - G pause
G C/G Bm C
An only child alone and wild 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 C/G Bm C
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
Am Em Am* D7* C/G - - G
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
G C/G Bm C
A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
Am Em Am C* D*
He tried to be a soldier once but his music wouldn't wait
G C/G Bm C
He earned his love through discipline a thundering velvet hand
Am Em Am* D7* G
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
C2:
C Bm C G
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
Am Em Am F* D*
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
C Bm C G
...My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
Am Em Am* C* G - C/G - - G
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
G C/G Bm C
My brother's lives were different for they heard another call
Am Em Am C* D*
One went to Chicago and the other to St Paul
G C/G Bm C
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Am Em Am* D7* G C/G G
Living out this life I've chose and come to know so well
__________

I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
Am Em Am C* D*

And papa I don't think I said I love you near enough
