God Help You Dumb Boy

Am
Dumb boy, what do you say?
    F                 Am
My eyes are lazy, my skin's a flake
Am
But what good can you do?
       F              Am
Well, not so much as men like you
Am
Dumb boy, what do you see?
     E                 Am
The lesser men coming down on me
Am
Tell us, what will you do?
     Dm               Am
I'll let my axe come down on you!

E
  Here by the water, I'll raise my kingdom
G
  I'll find my foliage
F
  I'll raise my arms and
E
  I'll say my name with, with 'glory be's' and
E
  Here by the water! I'll raise my temple
G                    F              E
  Where no man shall be as small as me!

       E                            Dm            E
But I can't load the bullets and I can't use the gun
                             Dm           E
Can't have no children so I won't have a son
                         Dm          E
Can't wake up early so nothing will grow
                                    Dm        E
I'll just lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low,
          Dm        E
'Til the sun hangs low!
      Dm                                 E
I'll lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low!

Am
Dumb boy, you've done wrong
        F                 Am
Now by what right do you good men judge?
Am
You are in the contempt of man
      F                Am
Then gag my mouth and bind my hands!
Am
Dumb boy, what are you seeing?
          E                         Am
Ha, your guns they are empty, your rope it is frayed!
Am
Tell us, what did you say?
          Dm            Am
In your empty chest, my axe I will lay!

E
  Here by the water, I'll raise my kingdom
G
  I'll find my foliage
F
  I'll raise my arms and
E
  I'll say my name with, with 'glory be's' and

Speak and follow, your words are hollow

Your steps are heavy,

you will not save me

Your steps are heavy,

you will not save me!
