Alan Jackson – Little Man (Guitar)

    C                        G
I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk

F
Lookin' in windows at things I could want

C                                 G
   There's Johnson's hardware and Morgan's jewelry

        F
And the ol' Lee King's apothecary

              C            F
They were the little man

    C
The little man

C                        G
   I go back now and the stores are all empty

  F
Except for an old coke sign dated 1950

C                       G
   Boarded up like they never existed

F
   Or renovated and called historic districts

               C            F
There goes the little man

               C
There goes the little man

        Am                    F
Now the court square's just a   set of streets

         C                     G
That the people go round but they seldom think

         Am              F
Bout the little man that built this town

  C                  G
Before the big money shut em down

               C            F
And killed the little man

       C           F
Oh the little man

C                          G
   He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass

    F
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat

C                                G
   The new stores came where you do it yourself

          F
You buy a   lotto ticket and food off the shelf

                 C            F
Forget about the little man

                  C
Forget about that little man

C                         G
   He hung on there for a few more years

       F
But he couldn't sell slurpees, and he wouldn't sell beer

        C
Now the bank rents the station

     G
To a man down the road

              F
And they sell velvet Elvis and second-hand clothes

               C            F
There goes the little man

                   C
There goes another little man

        Am                    F
Now the court square's just a   set of streets

         C                     G
That the people go round but they seldom think

         Am              F
Bout the little man that built this town

  C                  G
Before the big money shut em down

               C            F
And killed the little man

       C
Oh the little man

        C                        G
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip

        F
You can buy the world with just one trip

C                              G
   And save a penny cause it's jumbo size

    F
And they don't even realize

                    C            F
They're killin' the little man

       C
Oh the little man

        Am                    F
Now the court square's just a   set of streets

         C                     G
That the people go round but they seldom think

         Am              F
Bout the little man that built this town

  C                  G
Before the big money shut em down

               C            F
And killed the little man

       C           F
Oh the little man

C                      G
   It wasn't long when I was a child

   F
An old black man came with his mule and his plow

C                               G
   He broke the ground where we grew our garden

F
Back before we'd all forgotten

          C            F
About the little man

    C            F
The little man

              C            F
Long live the little man

              C
God bless the little man
