     Fm                                    F
I am just an aging drummer boy, and in the wars I used to play

         D#                                Fm
And I've called the tune to many a torture session

                                          F
Now they say I am a war criminal, and I'm fading away

D#                        Fm
Father, please hear my confession

       C                  G
I have legalized robbery, called it belief

       C                          G
I have run with the money, I have hid like a thief

C                       G
Re-written history with armies and my crooks

         F      Dm       G
Invented memories, I did burn all the books

          Fm        
And I can still hear his laughter,

          F              Dm
And I can still hear his song

              Am
The man's too big;

              G F   G F  F C  
The man's too strong
Fm G
       C                        G
Well I tried to be meek, I have tried to be mild

      C                      G
But I spat like a woman, and sulked like a child

       C                             G
I have lived behind walls, that have made me alone

            F    Dm             G
Striven for peace, which I have never known

          Fm        
And I can still hear his laughter,

          F              Dm
And I can still hear his song

              Am
The man's too big;

              G F   G F  F C  
The man's too strong
Fm G
         C                                   G
Well the sun rose on the courtyard, and they all did hear him say

     C                         G
"You always was a Judas, but I got you anyway

    C                               G
You may have got your silver, but I swear upon my life

                    F       Dm               G
Your sister gave me diamonds, and I gave 'em to your wife"

                  Fm
Oh father, please help me,

    F           Dm
For I have done wrong

              Am
The man's too big;

              G F   G F  F C  
The man's too strong
