Karaoke Track: Leader Of The Band by Dan Fogelberg (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

Leader Of The Band

In the style of Dan Fogelberg
Words and Music by Dan Fogdbm'g

KEYS Ab
Timei Q18

A lonely child
Alone and wild

A cabinetmaker's son

And his heart
Was known to none

He left his home
And went his lone

And solitary way

And he gave to me
A gift I know

I never can repay

A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate

He tried to be
A soldier once

But his music
Wouldn't wait

He earned his love
Through discipline

A thundering
Velvet hand

His gentle means
0f sculpting souls

Took me years
To understand

My life has been
A poor attempt

To imitate the man

I am just a
Living legacy

To the leader
Of the band

My brothers' lives
Were different

For they heard
Another call

One went to Chicago
And the other

To St. Paul

And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not

In some hotel

Living out this life
Ichose

And come to know
80 well

Instrumental

I thank you
Father Music

And your stories
Of the road

I thank you
Father Freedom

When it came
My time to go

I thank you
Father Kindness

And the times
When you got tough

And Papa I don't
Think I've said

I love you
Near enough

And his eyes
Are growin' old

And his song
Is in my soul

My life has been
A poor attempt

To imitate the man

I'm just a
Living legacy

To the leader
Of the band

I am a living legacy
To the leader

Of the band...
