I'm just and ageing drummer boy
C
And in the wars I used to play
B
And I've called the tune
Dmi
To many a torture session
Dmi
Now they say I am a war criminal
C
And I'm fading away

Father please her my confession
G
I have legalised robbery
D
Called it belief
G
I have run with the money
D
And hid like a theif
G
I have re-written history
D
With my armies and my crooks
D C Ami7
Invented memories

I did burn all the books

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 wall
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I never have 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
