Am Dumb boy, what do you say? F Am My eyes are lazy, my skin's a flake Am But what good can you do? F Am Well, not so much as men like you Am Dumb boy, what do you see? E Am The lesser men coming down on me Am Tell us, what will you do? Dm Am I'll let my axe come down on you! E Here by the water, I'll raise my kingdom G I'll find my foliage F I'll raise my arms and E I'll say my name with, with 'glory be's' and E Here by the water! I'll raise my temple G F E Where no man shall be as small as me! E Dm E But I can't load the bullets and I can't use the gun Dm E Can't have no children so I won't have a son Dm E Can't wake up early so nothing will grow Dm E I'll just lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low, Dm E 'Til the sun hangs low! Dm E I'll lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low! Am Dumb boy, you've done wrong F Am Now by what right do you good men judge? Am You are in the contempt of man F Am Then gag my mouth and bind my hands! Am Dumb boy, what are you seeing? F Am Ha, your guns they are empty, your rope it is frayed! Am Tell us, what did you say? F Am In your empty chest, my axe I will lay! E Here by the water, I'll raise my kingdom G I'll find my foliage F I'll raise my arms and E I'll say my name with, with 'glory be's' and E Here by the water! I'll raise my temple G F E Where no man shall be as small as me!

Dm E I'll lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low! E E E E Speak and follow, your words are hollow G E G Your steps are heavy, E E you will not save me E E E Speak and follow, your words are hollow E Your steps are heavy, E you will not save me!
