(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

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
