Biografía:
Dire Straits fue una banda de Rock británica, fundada en 1977 por Mark Knopfler (guitarra y voz), David Knopfler (guitarra), John Illsley (bajo) y Pick Withers (batería), con Ed Bicknell como director.
Dire Straits grabó y realizó su primer álbum homónimo en 1978 con poca aceptación hasta que cinco meses después se lanzó un sencillo, Sultans of Swing, que convirtió el disco en uno de los más vendidos. El segundo álbum, Communiqué se lanzó poco después; estos dos primeros trabajos configuraron el sonido de la banda.

Dire Straits - The Man's Too Strong
[Intro]
Dm C Gm/Bb Dm
Dm C Gm/Bb Dm
[Verse A]
Dm C
I am just an aging drummer boy, and in the wars I used to play
Gm/Bb Dm
And I've called the tune to many a torture session
Dm C
Now they say I am a war criminal, and I'm fading away
Gm/Bb Dm
Father, please hear my confession:
[Verse B]
G D5
I have legalized robbery, called it belief
G D5
I have run with the money, I have hid like a thief
G D5
Re-written history with my armies and my crooks
C Am
Invented memories,
Dm
I did burn all the books
[Chorus]
Dm
And I can still hear his laughter,
C Em
And I can still hear his song
Em
The man's too big;
D C
The man's too strong
[Instrumental]
D C Cm G Gm D
[Verse B]
G D5
Well I tried to be meek, I have tried to be mild
G D5
But I spat like a woman and sulked like a child
G D5
I have lived behind walls, that have made me alone
C Am
Striven for peace,
D5
which I never have known
[Chorus]
Dm
And I can still hear his laughter,
C Em
And I can still hear his song
Em
The man's too big;
D C
The man's too strong
[Instrumental]
D C Cm G Gm D
[Verse B]
G D5
Well the sun rose on the courtyard, and they all did hear him say
G D5
"You always was a Judas, but I got you anyway
G D5
You may have got your silver, but I swear upon my life
C Am
Your sister gave me diamonds,
D5
and I give 'em to your wife"
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh father, please help me,
C Em
For I have done wrong
Em
The man's too big;
D C
The man's too strong
[Instrumental]
