Dire Straits - The Man's Too Strong: chords

      Dm
I am just an aging drummer boy,
            C
And in the wars I used to play
          A#
And I've called the tune
                   Dm
To many a torture session
Now they say I am a war criminal,
         C
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

Chorus:
           Dm
And I can still hear his laughter,
            C             Em
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big;
                 D C D C Cm G
The man's too strong

Well I've tried to be meek
I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
And I sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I never have known

Chorus

Well, the sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear him say
"You always was a Judas
But I got you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I gave them to your wife"

Chorus:
Oh, Father please help me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong
