       Dm            
   I'm just and ageing drummer boy 
              C 
   And in the wars I used to play 
            Bb         
   And I've called the tune 
                     Dm 
   To many a torture session 
            Dm  
   Now they say I am a war criminal 
           C 
   And I'm fading away 
   Bb                      Dm 
   Father please her my confession 
 
          G 
   I have legalised robbery 
   D 
   Called it a belief 
          G 
   I have run with the money 
       D 
   And hid like a thief 
          G 
   I have re-written history 
           D 
   With my armies and my crooks 
   D        C        Am7 
   Invented memories 
         D 
   I did burn all the books 
             Dm 
   And I can still hear his laughter 
             C                   Em    Emsus2/4 
   And I can still hear his song 
                 Em 
   The man's too big 
                 D  	C 
   The man's too strong

   Well I have tried to be meek 
   And I have tried to be mild 
   But I spat like a woman 
   And sulked like a child 
   I have lived behind walls 
   That have made me alone 
   Striven for peace 
   Which I have never known 
   And I can still hear his laughter 
   And I can still hear his song 
   The man's too big 
   The man's too strong 
 
   Well the sun rose on the courtyard 
   And they all did hear him say 
   'You always were a Judas 
   But I got you anyway 
   You may have got your silver 
   But I swear upon my life 
   Your sister gave me diamonds 
   And I gave them to your wife' 
   Oh father please help me 
   For I have done wrong 
   The man's too big 
   The man's too strong
