Fat Man chords by John Fullbright

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

Am                    Dm
In my dreams I see a fat man
        E          Am
On his face is a frown
         Am                Dm
Hes got money in his left hand
        E                             Am  C/B   C
In his right hes got strings that run all over town
       Dm              Am                 Dm         E
As he pulls on them tightly he chokes all, all that grows
          Am              Dm
He keeps watch day and nightly
       E                 Am
and plucks life, Like a rose

Verse 2:

 Am                     Dm
In my dreams I see the young men
           E        Am
That will change history
          Am              Dm
They will die for the fat man
        E        Am  C/B  C
As he laughs so care-less-ly
        Dm                 Am                  Dm         E
In his laughter I hear the sorrow from the pain that it brings
        Am              Dm
I hear mothers weeping softly
            E                 Am
Wrapped up tightly, in his strings


Verse 3:

  Am                      Dm
Cut the strings from his fingers
            E               Am
Wrap them twice around his throat
       Am                Dm
Show him not your kind mercy
          E              Am  C/B  C
From the laws that he forgot he wrote
       Dm                  Am
Let us know of that which binds us,
             Dm              E
that which steals all that grows
            Am                Am
That which kills what defines us
        E              Am
To be plucked, like a rose
