[Verse 1]
[D][Ch[A]oru[D]s]
When Leonard finally [G]came
to Califor[D]nia
He was [G]twenty-one years years [D]old,
as I re[A]call
He [D]loved to write [G]a song and
pick on the gui[D]tar
And [G]he came to hang [A]a gold
one on the [D]wall

[Verse 2]
[Bm]The town in which he lived is
not import[G]ant
But you'll know which town I mean
[D]by the time I'm thr[A]ough
He [Bm]soon became a famous enter[G]tainer
But Leonard was a name
[A]he never used
[D]

[Verse 3]
He was on his way to [G]hav
ing what he [D]wanted
[G]Just about as [D]close as one could [A]be
Hey, [D]once he even fol[G]lowed Elvis [D]Presley
And he [G]wrote a lot of
coun[A]try songs for me
[D]

[Verse 4]
But he [Bm]laid it all aside to follow Je[G]sus
For years he chose [D]to let his music [A]go
But [Bm]preaching wasn't
really meant for Leonard
[G]But how in the hell was Le[A]
onard s'posed to know
[D]

[Verse 5]
Well, life began [G]to twist
it's way [D]around him
And I [G]wondered how he
[D]carried such [A]a load
He came [D]back again to try
[G]his luck in music[D]
And [G]lost his wife and [A]fam
ily on the road
[D]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]
After that he seemed to bog
down [G]even deeper
And I saw what booze and pill
[D]s could really d[A]o
And I [Bm]wondered if I'd ever
see [G]him sober
But I forgot about a friend
[A]that Leonard knew
[D]

[Verse 7]
Well, Leonard gave me [G]lots of inspira[D]tion
He helped [G]teach me how to
[D]write a country [A]song
And [D]he even brought around
[G]a bag of gro[D]ceries
Hey, [G]back [A]before
Muskogee came along
[D]

[Verse 8]
[Bm]Really, I'm not trying to
hide his [G]show name
Or the town in which this
[D]episode began
[A]

[Verse 9]
Somehow [Bm]I had to write
a song for old [G]Tommy
If just to see the smilin' [A]faces
in the band
[D][Chorus]
