The Man's Too Strong chords
Dire Straits

DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb DmDm 2x

   DmDm                  C majorC
I am just an aging drummer boy, and in the wars I used to play
     Bb majorBb                DmDm
And I've called the tune to many a torture session
                     C majorC
Now they say I am a war criminal, and I'm fading away
Bb majorBb            DmDm
Father, please hear my confession

    G+G         D MajorD
I have legalized robbery, called it belief
    G+G             D MajorD
I have run with the money, I have hid like a thief
G+G            D MajorD
Re-written history with armies and my crooks
     C majorC   A minorAm    D MajorD
Invented memories, I did burn all the books

     DmDm
And I can still hear his laughter,
     C majorC       A minorAm
And I can still hear his song
       E minorEm
The man's too big;
       D MajorD C majorC  D MajorD C majorC C majorC G+G
The man's too strong

G minorGm D MajorD

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

     DmDm
And I can still hear his laughter,
     C majorC       A minorAm
And I can still hear his song
       E minorEm
The man's too big;
       D MajorD C majorC  D MajorD C majorC C majorC G+G
The man's too strong

G minorGm D MajorD

     G+G                  D MajorD
Well the sun rose on the courtyard, and they all did hear him say

   G+G             D MajorD
"You always was a Judas, but I got you anyway
  G+G                D MajorD
You may have got your silver, but I swear upon my life
          C majorC    A minorAm        D MajorD
Your sister gave me diamonds, and I gave 'em to your wife"

         DmDm
Oh father, please help me,
  C majorC      A minorAm
For I have done wrong
       E minorEm
The man's too big;
       D MajorD C majorC  D MajorD C majorC C majorC G+G
The man's too strong

G minorGm D MajorD C majorC C minorCm G+G G minorGm D MajorD

D MajorD C majorC D MajorD C majorC C majorC G+G

G minorGm D MajorD C majorC C minorCm G+G G minorGm D MajorD
