Elliott Smith – Ballad Of Big Nothing (Ukulele)

G
Throwing candy out to the crowd

C                 D
Dragging down the main

    G
The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth

      C                       F
Who's always got something to say

G
You're sitting at home now

C                           D
Waiting for your brother to call

Dm        G
I saw him down at the alley

Fm                      G
Having had enough of it all

             C                    Am                   Fm Dm Fm G
Said you can do what you want to whenever you want to

         C                           Am                 Fm Dm Fm G
You can do what you want to there's no one to stop you

G                                 C
All spit and spite you're up all night

               D
And down every day

G
A tired man with only hours to go

     C                   F
Just waiting to be taken away

G
Getting into the back of a car

    C               D
For candy from some stranger

Dm             G                  Fm
watching the parade with pinpoint eyes

          G
Full of smoldering anger

        C                    Am                   Fm Dm Fm G
You can do what you want to whenever you want to

        C                    Am                   Fm Dm Fm G
You can do what you want to there's no one to stop you

            C                     Am
Now you can do what you want to whenever you want to

C                      Am
Do what you want to whenever you want to

G                     E
Do what you want to whenever you want to

Am                        D
Though it doesn't mean a thing

F          Fm
Big nothing
