Leader Of The Band
Dan Fogelberg
Key : Ab
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
G#7 | C# | A#m | Fm 
D#  | G# 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G#
 An only child alone and wild
  Cm                C#
A cabinet maker's son
A#m                           Fm
  His hands were meant for different work
        A#m                C# D#
And his heart was known to none
G#
 He left his home and went his lone
    Cm       C#
And solitary way
       A#m            Fm
And he gave to me a gift
         A#m   D#    G#
I know I never can repay

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G#
 A quiet man of music
     Cm            C#
Denied a simpler fate
A#m                  Fm
  He tried to be a soldier once
        A#m               C# D#
But his music wouldn't wai_t
G#
 He earned his love through discipline
      Cm               C#
A thundering, velvet hand
    A#m                  Fm
His gentle means of sculpting souls
        A#m      D#   G#
Took me years to understand

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C#                   Cm
 The leader of the band is tired
        C#                G#
And his eyes are growing old
        A#m                   Fm
But his blood runs through my instrument
        A#m           F# D#
And his song is in my soul
C#                     Cm
 My life has been a poor attempt
C#                G#
 To imitate the man
    A#m             Fm
I'm just a living legacy
       A#m    C#     G#
To the leader of the band

[Verse 3]
---------------------
G#
 My brothers' lives were different
         Cm              C#
For they heard another call
A#m              Fm
One went to Chicago
        A#m            C#  D#
And the other to Saint Paul
G#
 And I'm in Colorado
         Cm              C#
When I'm not in some hotel
A#m               Fm
Living out this life I've chose
    A#m     D#      G#
And come to know so well

[Bridge]
---------------------
G#7 | C# | A#m | Fm 
D#  | G# 

[Verse 4]
---------------------
G#
 I thank you for the music
         Cm             C#
And your stories of the road
A#m                       Fm
  I thank you for the freedom
          A#m             C# D#
When it came my time to go
G#
 I thank you for the kindness
          Cm               C#
And the times when you got tough
     A#m          Fm
And, papa I don't think I said
  A#m      D#    G#
I love you near enough

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C#                   Cm
 The leader of the band is tired
        C#                G#
And his eyes are growing old
        A#m                   Fm
But his blood runs through my instrument
        A#m           F# D#
And his song is in my soul
C#                     Cm
 My life has been a poor attempt
C#                G#
 To imitate the man
    A#m             Fm
I'm just a living legacy
       A#m    C#     G#
To the leader of the band
  A#m           Fm
I am the living legacy
       A#m    C# D#   G#
To the leader of the band.

[Outro]
