D5                         C5 
I am just an aging drummer-boy, and in the wars I used to play 
    Bb5                   D5 
And I've called a tune to many a torture session. 
D5                         C5 
Now they say I am a war criminal, and I'm a-fading away. 
Bb5 
Father, please hear my confession. 
    G5              D5 
I have legalized robbery and called it belief 
  G5                  D5 
I have run with the money, I have hid like a thief 
   G5                  D5 
I have rewritten history with my armies and my crooks 
D5     C5      A5     D5 
Invented memories, I did burn all the books 
     D5                      C5            E5 
And I can still hear his laughter, and I can still hear his song 
E5                 E5           D5       C5   D5   C5  
         The man's too big, the man's too strong
