the man s too strong chords
dire straits
x Dm C
i Am just an aging drummer boy , and in the wars i used to play
A# Dm
and i’ve called the tune to many a torture session
C
now they say i Am a war criminal , 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
Dm
and i can still hear his laughter ,
C Am
and i can still hear his song
Em
the man’s too big;
D C D C C G
the man’s too strong
Gm D
G D
well i tried to be meek , i have tried to be mild
G D
but i spat like a woman , and sulked like a child
G D
i have lived behind walls , that have made me alone
C Am D
striven for peace , which i have never known
Dm
and i can still hear his laughter ,
C Am
and i can still hear his song
Em
the man’s too big;
D C D C C G
the man’s too strong
Gm D
G D
well the sun rose on the courtyard , and they all did hear him say
G D
“you always was a judas , but i got you anyway
G D
you may have got your silver , but i swear upon my life
C Am D
your sister gave me diamonds , and i gave ’em to your wife”
Dm
oh father , please help me ,
C Am
for i have done wrong
Em
the man’s too big;
D C D C C G
the man’s too strong
