Leader of The Band Lyrics & Tabs by 周華健
Leader of The Band
guitar chords lyrics
编辑酷狗
An only child alone and will,
a cab makers son.
His hands were meant for different work
and his heart was known to none.
He left his home and went his lone
and solitary way.
He gave me a gift tied on
I never can repay.
A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate.
He tried to be a soldier once
but his music couldnt wait.
He earned his love through discipline
a thundering velvet hand.
His gentle means of sculpting souls
He earned his love through discipline
a thundering velvet hand.
His gentle means of sculpting souls
took me years to understand.
The leader of the band is tired
and his eyes are growing old.
But his blood runs through my instrument
and his song is in my soul.
My life has been a poor attempt
to imitate the man.
Im 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 Im in Colorado
when Im not in some hotel.
Living out this life Ive chose
ande to know so well.
I thank you for the music
and your stories of them all.
I thank you for the freedom
when it came my time to go.
I thank you for the kindness
and the times when you got tough.
And papa, I dont think I said
I love you near enough.
The leader of the band is tired
and his eyes are growing old.
But his blood runs through my instrument
and his song is in my soul.
My life has been a poor attempt
to imitate the man.
Im just a living legacy
to the leader of the band.
Im just a living legacy
to the leader of the band.
