the man’s too strong

Intro
Dm Dm C C Bb Bb Dm Dm Dm Dm C C Bb Bb Dm Dm

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

G D
I have legalised robbery, called it belief
G D
I have run with the money, and hid like a thief
G D
Re-written history with my armies and my crooks
D C Am Am7 D
Invented memories, I did burn all the books
Dm C Em Emsus2 Emsus4
And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song
Em D C C C
The man's too big, the man’s too strong

D C C C C G G G Gm Gm Gm D D D D

G D
Well I have tried to be meek and 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
D C Am Am7 D
Striven for peace, which I have never known
Dm C Em Emsus2 Emsus4
And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song
Em D C C C
The man's too big, the man's too strong

D C C C C G G G Gm Gm Gm D D D D

G D
Well the sun rose on the courtyard and they all did hear him say
G D
'You always were a Judas but I got you anyway
G D
You may have got your silver but I swear upon my life
D C Am Am7 D
Your sister gave me diamonds and I gave them to your wife'
Dm C Em Emsus2 Emsus4
Oh father please help me for I have done wrong
Em D C C C
The man's too big, the man's too strong
