                                               By Todd
(Capo 3rd fret)

(Intro)  D  G (2x)                
   
         D               G                D
         Levon wears his war wound like a crown
       G                    D
         He calls his child Jesus
       A                      Bm
          `Cause he likes the name
                F#m7             G                Em7
         And he sends him to the finest school in town

         D      G               D
         Levon, Levon likes his money
       G                     D
         He makes a lot they say
       A                    Bm
         Spend his days counting        (notes only)
              F#m7          G    Em7        E  F
         In a garage by the motorway
    F#m7               Bm                    G
         He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
                  D                   Em7                 D
         When the New York Times said God is dead and the war's begun
       G              D           Em7
         Alvin Tostig has a son today

(Chorus)
                         G                       D
         And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
                         G                            D
         And he shall be Levon in tradition with the family plan
                         G                       D
         And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
         G              Asus4 
         He shall be Levon

(Instrumental) D  G (2x)   

         D              G                D
         Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
       G                       D
         His family business thrives
         A                           Bm
         Jesus blows up balloons all day
              F#m7               G             Em7
         Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
             D         G              D
         And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
       G                     D
         Leaving Levon far behind
       A                       Bm
         Take a balloon and go sailing   (notes only)
               F#m7   G            Em7       E  F
         While Levon, Levon slowly dies
    F#m7               Bm                    G
         He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
                  D                   Em7                 D
         When the New York Times said God is dead and the war's begun
       G              D           Em7
         Alvin Tostig has a son today

(Chorus)
                         G                       D
         And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
                         G                            D
         And he shall be Levon in tradition with the family plan
                         G                       D
         And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
         G              Asus4 
         He shall be Levon
                         G                       D
         And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
                         G                            D
         And he shall be Levon in tradition with the family plan
                         G                       D
         And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
         G              Asus4 
         He shall be Levon
