DmCBbDm
* 2x
Dm C
I am just an aging drummer boy, and in the wars I used to play
Bb Dm
*
And I've called the tune to many a torture session
C
Now they say I am a war criminal, and I'm fading away
Bb Dm
Father, please hear my confession
G D
I have legalized robbery, called it belief
G D
I have run with the money, I have 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;
D C D C Cm G
The man's too strong
Gm D
G D
Well I tried to be meek, I have tried to be mild
G D
But I spat like a woman, and sulked like a child
G D
I have lived behind walls, that 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;
D C D C Cm G
The man's too strong
Gm D
G D
Well the sun rose on the courtyard, and they all did hear him say
G D
"You always was a Judas, but I got you anyway
G D
You may have got your silver, but I swear upon my life
C Am D
Your sister gave me diamonds, and I gave 'em to your wife"
Dm
Oh father, please help me,
C Em
For I have done wrong
Em
The man's too big;
D C D C Cm G
The man's too strong

D C D C Cm G
