Dm I am just an aging drummer boy, C And in the wars I used to play A# And I've called the tune Dm To many a torture session Now they say I am a war criminal, C And I'm fading away A# 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 Re-written history with armies and my crooks C Am D Invented memories, I did burn all the books Chorus: Dm And I can still hear his laughter, C Em And I can still hear his song The man's too big; D C D C Cm G The man's too strong Well I've tried to be meek I have tried to be mild But I spat like a woman And I sulked like a child I have lived behind walls That have made me alone Striven for peace Which I never have known Chorus Well, the sun rose on the courtyard And they all did hear him say "You always was 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" Chorus: Oh, Father please help me For I have done wrong The man's too big The man's too strong | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm A# C Cm D Dm Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
