Dire Straits - The Man's Too Strong Akor

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.

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
