(on to verse 2...)
(Verse 1)
G C/g G Bm C
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet-maker's son
Am Em
His hands were meant for different work and his
Am C D7
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
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
(Verse 2)
G C/g G Bm C
A quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
Am Em
He tried to be a soldier once, but his
Am C D7
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
(to chorus)

My brother's lives were different, for they heard another call

One went to Chicago, a-

nother to St. Paul
G C/g G Bm C
Me, I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some motel

(Play intro, then on to...)
(Verse 4)
G C/g G Bm C
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
Am Em
I thank you for the freedom... when it
Am C D7
came my time to go
G C/g G Bm C
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
Am Em Am D7 G

song sounds better if capo is on first fret
great song.
I've loved this tune forever I had almost forgotten about it, but it was used in an episode of the WB's Everwood I remembered it right away I had to check to see if it was here Thankfully It was I think Fogelberg is one of the most underacclaimed singer/songwriters in recent history This is a very meaningfull and touching piece...
Love the song, this is a classic it's a must play piece if your a serious solo guitar player
This is a beautiful song and I think that all guitarist should know it, thank you for your tab
i love this song very much... thank you for the lyrics and the tabs...now i can sing this song while playing my guitar...GOD BLESS..more power
