Dumb boy, what d[Am]o you say?
My e[F]yes are lazy, my s[Am]kin's a flake
[Am]But what good can you do?
Well, n[F]ot so much as m[Am]en like you
[Am]Dumb boy, what do you see?
The l[E]esser men coming d[Am]own on me
[Am]Tell us, what will you do?
I'll [Dm]let my axe come d[Am]own 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] Where no man shall [F]be as small as [E]me!
But I c[E]an't load the bullets and I c[Dm]an't use the g[E]un
Can't have no children so I w[Dm]on't have a s[E]on
Can't wake up early so no[Dm]thing will g[E]row
I'll just lay on my lands 'til the s[Dm]un hangs l[E]ow,
'Til the s[Dm]un hangs l[E]ow!
I'll l[Dm]ay on my lands 'til the sun hangs l[E]ow!
[Am]Dumb boy, you've done wrong
Now by w[F]hat right do you g[Am]ood men judge?
[Am]You are in the contempt of man
Then g[F]ag my mouth and b[Am]ind my hands!
[Am]Dumb boy, what are you seeing?
Ha, your g[F]uns they are empty, your r[Am]ope it is frayed!
[Am]Tell us, what did you say?
In your em[F]pty chest, my [Am]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] Where no man shall [F]be as small as [E]me!
But I c[E]an't load the bullets and I c[Dm]an't use the g[E]un
Can't have no children so I w[Dm]on't have a s[E]on
Can't wake up early so no[Dm]thing will g[E]row
I'll just lay on my lands 'til the s[Dm]un hangs l[E]ow,
'Til the s[Dm]un hangs l[E]ow!
I'll l[Dm]ay on my lands 'til the sun hangs l[E]ow!
[E]
[E]Speak and [E]follow, your words are hollow[E]
[G]Your st[E]eps are heavy,[G]
you wi[E]ll not s[E]ave me
[E]Speak and fo[E]llow, your words are ho[E]llow
Your st[E]eps are heavy,
you wi[E]ll not save me!
