Levon wears his war wound like a crown.
F F C C
He calls his child Jesus
G G Am Am
`Cause he likes the name
Em7 Em7 F F Dm7 Dm7
And he sends him to the finest school in town

C C F F C C
And Levon, Levon likes his money
F F C C
He makes a lot they say
G G Am Am
Spend his days counting
Em7 Em7 F F Dm7 Dm7
In a garage by the motorway

Em7 Em7 Am Am F F
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
C C Dm7 Dm7 C C
When the New York Times said God is dead and the war's begun
F F C C Dm7 Dm7
Alvin Tostig has a son today

C C F F C C
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
F F C C
And he shall be Levon in tradition with the family plan
F F C C
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
F F C C G G
He shall be Levon

C C F F C C
Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
F F C C
His family business thrives
G G Am Am
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Em7 Em7 F F Dm7 Dm7
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

C C F F C C
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
F F C C
Leaving Levon far behind
G G Am Am
Take a balloon and go sailing
Em7 Em7 F F Dm7 Dm7
While Levon, Levon slowly dies
