The Man s Too Strong chords
Dire Straits

Dm C Bb Dm  2x

     Dm                                    CI am just an aging drummer boy, and in the wars I used to play
         Bb                                DmAnd I've called the tune to many a torture session
                                          CNow they say I am a war criminal, and I'm fading away
Bb                        DmFather, please hear my confession

       G                  DI have legalized robbery, called it belief
       G                          DI have run with the money, I have hid like a thief
G                       DRe-written history with armies and my crooks
         C      Am       DInvented memories, I did burn all the books

          Dm        And I can still hear his laughter,
          C              AmAnd I can still hear his song
              EmThe man's too big;
              D C   D C  C G  The man's too strong

Gm  D

       G                        DWell I tried to be meek, I have tried to be mild
      G                      DBut I spat like a woman, and sulked like a child
       G                             DI have lived behind walls, that have made me alone
            C    Am             DStriven for peace, which I have never known

          Dm        And I can still hear his laughter,
          C              AmAnd I can still hear his song
              EmThe man's too big;
              D C   D C  C G  The man's too strong

Gm  D

         G                                   DWell 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                               DYou may have got your silver, but I swear upon my life
                    C       Am               DYour sister gave me diamonds, and I gave 'em to your wife"

                  DmOh father, please help me,
    C           AmFor I have done wrong
              EmThe man's too big;
              D C   D C  C G  The man's too strong
