Great tune!!
I play the Gm7 as a streight Gm, I like it better.
Slide it to hit the Gm# before sliding once more up to Am to start the chorus lyrics.
Have fun..
Intro
Levon wears his war wound like a crown. He calls his child Jesus
Cause he likes the name and he sends him to the finest school in town.
Levon, Levon likes his money. He makes a lot they say
Spends his days counting in a garage by the motorway.
(Chorus)
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times God is dead, and the wars begun.
Alvin Tostig has a son today.
And he shall be Levon, and he shall be a good man.
And he shall be Levon. in tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon. And he shall be a good man.
He shall, be Levon________.
Levon sells cartoon balloons in town. His family business thrives.
Jesus, blows up balloons all day. Sits on the porch swing watching them fly.
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus. Leave Levon far behind.
Take a balloon and go sailing, while Levon, Levon slowly dies...
(Chorus)
repeat twice & fade
