 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.
  
  
 For chords, play the Dm, D, C, Em, Am and G as open. Play the Bb in 1st
 position. I play the Emsus2, Gm and Cm as:
