Dm                                         C

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

         Bb                              Dm

And I've called a tune to many a torture session.

Dm                                          C

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

Bb

Father, please hear my confession.

 

       G                     D

I have legalized robbery and 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   C 

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

		 

C  Cm  G  Gm etc.
