THE BIG COUNTRY- The Talking Heads
C D F F G (rpt 3 more times)
C D F F G I see the shapes, I remember from maps C D F F G I see the shoreline, I see the whitecaps C D F F G A baseball diamond, nice weather down there C D F F G I see the schools, and the houses where the kids are C D F F G Places to park, by the factories and buildings C D F F G Restaurants and bars for later in the evening Am G F G Then we come to the farmlands and the undeveloped areas Am G F G And I have learned how these things work together Am G F G I see the parkways that passes through them all Am G F G And I have learned how to look at these things
CHORUS
Bb F Eb And I say, I wouldn't live there if you paid me Bb F Eb I wouldn't live there, ooh, no siree Bb F Eb I wouldn't do the things the way those people do Bb F Eb I wouldn't live there if you paid me to
I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean
And I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends
Look at that kitchen and all of that food
Look at them eat, I guess it tastes real good
Am G F F G They're growin' in those farmlands, then they bring it to the stores Am G F F G They put it in their car trunks, then they bring it back home
CHORUS
I'm tired of looking out the window of the airplane
I'm tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere
And it's not even worth talking about those people down there
Bb F Eb Do do da da da Do do da da da Do do
(keep on doing chorus with various noises)
(eventually hold the Eb a while and end on Bb)
(from More Songs About Buildings and Food, 1978)
