Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: E
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A E
Levon wears his war wound like a crown.
A E
He calls his child Jesus
B C#m
`Cause he likes the name
G#m7 A F#m7
And he sends him to the finest school in town
[Verse 2]
E A E
And Levon, Levon likes his money
A E
He makes a lot they say
B C#m
Spend his days counting
G#m7 A F#m7
In a garage by the motorway
[Pre Chorus]
G#m7 C#m A
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
E F#m7 E
When the New York Times said God is dead and the war's begun
A E F#m7
Alvin Tostig has a son today
[Chorus]
E A E
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
A E
And he shall be Levon in tradition with the family plan
A E
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
A E B
He shall be Levon
[Verse 3]
E A E
Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
A E
His family business thrives
B C#m
Jesus blows up balloons all day
G#m7 A F#m7
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
[[Verse 4]
E A E
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
A E
Leaving Levon far behind
B C#m
Take a balloon and go sailing
G#m7 A F#m7
While Levon, Levon slowly dies
[Pre Chorus]
G#m7 C#m A
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
E F#m7 E
When the New York Times said God is dead and the war's begun
A E F#m7
Alvin Tostig has a son today
[Chorus]
E A E
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
A E
And he shall be Levon in tradition with the family plan
A E
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
A E B
He shall be Levon
