GAn only chC/Gild alonGe and wild, a cBmabinet maker's sCon,
AmHis hands were meant for dEmifferent work and his Amheart was known to Cnone.D
GHe left his hC/Gome and wGent his lone and Bmsolitary Cway
And he Amgave to me a gEmift I kAmnow I D7never can repaGy. C/G G C/G G C/G G
GA quiet C/Gman of Gmusic, denBmied a simpler fCate,
AmHe tried to be a solEmdier once but his Ammusic wouldn't wCait. D
GHe earneC/Gd his loGve through discipline, a thBmund'ring velvet hCand.
His gAmentle means of sEmculpting souls took me yAmears to D7understaGnd.
