[Intro]

[Verse]
         D               G/D              D
         Levon wears his war wound like a crown
      G/D                    D
          He calls his child Jesus
       A/C#                     Bm
          `  Cause he likes the name
                F#m7             G/D              Em7
         And he sends him to the finest school in town

         D      G/D             D
         Levon, Levon likes his money
       G/D                     D
           He makes a lot they say
       A/C#                Bm
            Spend his days counting        (notes only)
              F#m7          G     Em7        E  F
         In a garage by the motor-way
    F#m7               Bm                    G
         He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
                  D/F#                Em7                 D
         When the New York Times said God is dead and the war's begun
       G              D/F#         Em7
         Alvin Tostig has a son to-day

[Chorus]
                         G     C/G G                     D/F#
         And he shall be Levon         and he shall be a good man
                         G      C/G G                        D/F#
         And he shall be Levon         in tradition with the family plan
                         G     C/G G                   D/F#
         And he shall be Levon       and he shall be a good man
         G              Asus4
         He shall be Le-von

[Instrumental]
D  G/D  x2

[Verse]
         D               G/D              D
         Levon sells car-toon balloons in town
     G/D                     D
         His family business thrives
         A/C#                        Bm
         Jesus blows up balloons all day
              F#m7               G             Em7
         Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
             D         G/D            D
         And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
       G                      D
         Leaving Levon far be-hind
    A/C#                      Bm
        Take a balloon and go sailing   (notes only)
               F#m7   G            Em7       E  F
         While Levon, Levon slowly dies
    F#m7               Bm                    G
         He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
                  D/F#                Em7                 D
         When the New York Times said God is dead and the war's begun
       G              D/F#         Em7
         Alvin Tostig has a son to-day

[Chorus]
                         G      C/G  G                    D/F#
         And he shall be Levon          and he shall be a good man
                         G     C/G   G                       D/F#
         And he shall be Levon         in tradition with the family plan 
                         G     C/G G                    D/F#
         And he shall be Levon        and he shall be a good man
         G               Asus4
         He shall be Lev-on
                         G       C/G   G                   D/F#
         And he shall be Levon           and he shall be a good man
                         G     C/G   G                        D/F#
         And he shall be Levon          in tradition with the family plan  hoo!
                         G      C/G   G                      D/F#
         And he shall be Levon             and he shall be a good man
         G              Asus4
         He shall be Le-von
