[Verse]
F               Bb               F    
Levon wears his war wound like a crown
Bb                    F     C
■  He calls his child Jesus ■
                    Dm  
'cause he likes the name
       Am               Bb               Gm7 
And he sends him to the finest school in town
F     Bb              F    
Levon Levon likes his money
Bb                     F  
■  He makes a lot they say
C                 Dm      
■ Spends his days counting
     Am7           Bb       Gm7
In a garage by the motorway ■  


[Chorus]
A7            Dm                    Bb           
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
         F                   Gm         
When the New York Times said God is dead
        F          
And the war's begun
Bb              Am        Gm   
Oh Alvin Tostig has a son today
                Bb   
And he shall be Levon
                  Am      
And he shall be a good man
Am7             Bb   
And he shall be Levon
                      F          
In tradition with the family plan
                Bb   
And he shall be Levon
                  Am       Am7 F
And he shall be a good man ■   ■
Bb          C7    F
He shall be Levon ■

[Verse]
F                                   
Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
Bb                     F      
■  His family business thrives
C                           Dm 
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Am7         Am          Bb            Gm 
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
    F                            
And Jesus he wants to go to Venus
Bb                 F     
■  Leave Levon far behind


[Chorus]
C                     Dm     
Take a balloon and go sailing
Am          Bb           Gm  
While Levon Levon slowly dies
Am            D7                    Bb           
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
         F                   Gm         
When the New York Times said God is dead
        F          
And the war's begun
Bb               Am        Gm   
And Alvin Tostig has a son today
                Bb   
And he shall be Levon
                  Am      
And he shall be a good man
                Bb   
And he shall be Levon
                      F          
In tradition with the family plan
Am              Bb   
And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man
Bb          C7   
He shall be Levon
C               Bb   
And he shall be Levon
                  Am      
And he shall be a good man
                Bb   
And he shall be Levon
                      Am         
In tradition with the family plan
A7              Bb   
And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

He shall be Levon
