I’m just an ageing drummer boy and in the wars I used to play

and I can still hear his laughter
C E-
and I can still hear his song
D C D C C- G G- D
the man’s too big the man’s too strong
Well I have tried to be meek and I have tried to be mild
but I spat like a woman and sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls that have made me alone
striven for peace which I never have known
and I can still hear his laughter
and I can still hear his song
the man’s too big the man’s too strong
Well the sun rose on the courtyard and they all did hear him say
you always were 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
oh father please help me
for I have done wrong
the man’s too big the man’s too strong
