_ _ I'm just an Asian drummer [C] boy, but in the wards I used to play.
[Gm] Called a tune, the man he [D] told me to play.
_ Now this day I am a war criminal, [C] and I'm so damn poor.
_ [Gm] Father, please give me my [D] crown. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] I have a needle and a swab, a needle, [D] and I've called it to be.
[G] I've run with the money, [D] I've had a good life, and I've had a good life.
I've been a thief, [G] re-written [D] history with my father's knife. _ _
[C] Invented a [G] man's book, [Am] _ _ _ [D] and it's been on the books.
But I can [Dm] still hear his laughter, and [C] I can still hear [Em] his voice.
_ _ _ And that stupid guy, he [D] makes me swoon.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] When I tried to be me, and I [D] had tried to be mine.
[G] But I'm not like a woman, [D] or a dog like a child.
[G] I haven't been found in the wild, [D] I haven't been in the snow alone. _
Slipping [C] for a piece of mine, [Am] _ _ [D] which I never have known.
And I [Dm] can still hear his laughter, oh I [C] can still hear [Em] his tone.
_ _ _ And that stupid guy, he [D] makes me [C] swoon. _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _

Well, the [G] son of old was on the courtyard, [D] and he always hit him to sleep.
[G] He always worried too much, [D] but he got you anyway.
[G] He may have got you silver, [D] but it's never been my life.
He gave [Am] me diamonds, _ _ _ [D] and I lay down with the wife.
Oh father, [Dm] please don't say, [C] oh I have [Em] done wrong.
_ _ And that stupid guy, he makes [D] me swoon.
