The Man's Too Strong chords
Dire Straits

Dm C Bb Dm 2x

   Dm                  C
I am just an aging drummer boy, and in the wars I used to play
     Bb                Dm
And I've called the tune to many a torture session
                     C
Now they say I am a war criminal, and I'm fading away
Bb            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

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

Gm D

    G            D
Well I tried to be meek, I have tried to be mild
   G           D
But I spat like a woman, and sulked like a child
    G               D
I have lived behind walls, that have made me alone
      C  Am       D
Striven for peace, which I have never known

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

Gm D

     G                  D
Well 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                D
You may have got your silver, but I swear upon my life
          C    Am        D
Your sister gave me diamonds, and I gave 'em to your wife"

         Dm
Oh father, please help me,
  C      Am
For I have done wrong
       Em
The man's too big;
       D C  D C C G
The man's too strong

Gm D C Cm G Gm D
