The Mans Too Strong

Dm C Bb Dm  2x

     Dm                            
I am just an aging drummer boy, and
        C
 in the wars I used to play
         Bb                        
And I've called the tune to many a 
        Dm
torture session
Now they say I am a war criminal, 
        C
and I'm fading away
Bb                        Dm
Father, please hear my confession

       G                  D
I have legalized robbery, called it 
belief
       G                          
I have run with the money, I have 
D
hid like a thief
G                       D
Re-written history with armies and 
my crooks
         C      Am       D
Invented memories, I did burn all 
the books

          Dm
And I can still hear his laughter,
          C              Em
And I can still hear his song
              Em
The man's too big;

       G                       
Well I tried to be meek, I have 
 D
tried to be mild
      G                      D
But I spat like a woman, and sulked 
like a child
       G                           
I have lived behind walls, that 
  D
have made me alone
            C    Am        D
Striven for peace, which I never 
have known

          Dm
And I can still hear his laughter,
          C              Em
And I can still hear his song
              Em
The man's too big;

         G                         
Well the sun rose on the courtyard,
          D
 and they all did hear him say
     G                         D
"You always was a Judas, but I got 
you anyway
    G                              
You may have got your silver, but I
 D
 swear upon my life
                    C       Am    
Your sister gave me diamonds, and 
  D
I gave 'em to your wife"

                  Dm
Oh father, please help me,
    C           Em
For I have done wrong
              Em
