[Verses]
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.
Dm                                       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
I have rewritten history with my armies and my crooks
D        C         Am         D
Invented memories,      I did burn all the books
          Dm                                 C              Em
And I can still hear his laughter, and I can still hear his song
Emsus2                 Em                 D         C        D

         The man's too big, the man's too strong

C  Cm  G  Gm etc.


For chords, play the Dm, D, C, Em, Am and G as open. Play the Bb in 1st
position. I play the Emsus2, Gm and Cm as:
