Leader of the band

Written by Dan Fogelberg

Capo on 1st fret
	  		

Intro: G7 C Am Em D G (C/G) G (C/G) G (C/G) G   

Verse 1:

G (C/G) G Bm C An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son, Am Em Am C D His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none. G (C/G) G Bm C He left his home and went his lone and solitary way . Am Em Am D7 G (C/G) G (C/G) G (C/G) G And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay. G (C/G) 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) G Bm C He earned his love through discipline, a thund'ring velvet hand. . Am Em Am D7 G His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand.
