 (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

 (Verse 3)
 G C/g G Bm C
 My brother's lives were different, for they heard another call
 Am              Em      
  One went to Chicago, a-
 Am              C  D7 
  nother to St. Paul
 G C/g G Bm C
 Me, I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some motel

 (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  
 and, Papa, I don't think I said "I love you" near enough
