Chords for Alan Jackson - Little Man ( + lyrics 1998)

_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ I [C#] remember walking round [G#] the court square sidewalks, [F#] looking in windows at things I couldn't want.
[C#] There's Johnson's hardware [G#] and Morgan's jewelry [F#] and the old Lee King's hot carrier.
They were [C#] the little man, _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [C#] the little man. _ _ _
_ _ _ I go back now and [G#] the stores are empty, [F#] except an old Coke signed dated 1950.
_ [C#] _ Boarded up like [G#] they never existed, _ [F#] but renovated and called Historic Districts.
[C#] There goes the little man, _ [F#] _
there goes [C#] the little man. _ _ _
_ Now [A#m] the court square's just [F#] a set of streets [C#] that people go around,
but [G#] they seldom think about [A#m] the little man that built this town.
[C#] Before the big money [G#] shut him down, he killed [C#] the little man, _ _ [F#] _
_ the [C#] old little man.
_ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] He pumped your gas [G#] and he cleaned your glass, [F#] one cold rainy night he fixed your flat.
[C#] A new store came where [G#] you do it yourself, you [F#] buy a lotto ticket, food off the shelf.
Forget [C#] the little man, _ _ [F#] _
forget about [C#] that little man. _ _ _
_ _ _ He hung on there [G#] for a few more years, [F#] but he couldn't sell slurpings, he wouldn't sell beer.
[C#] Now the bank rents a station [G#] to a man down the road and [C#] they sell velvet [F#] elves.
Secondhand clothes, there [C#] goes the little man, _ _ [F#] _
there goes another [C#] little man. _ _ _
_ _ [A#m] Now the court square's just [F#] a set of streets [C#] that people go around,
but [G#] they seldom think [A#m] about the little man [F#] that built this town.
[C#] Before the big money [G#]
shut him down, he [C#] killed the little man, _ [F#] _
_ the [C#] old little man. _ _
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A#m] _ [C#] Now the stores are lined up [G#] in a concrete strip, [F#] you can buy the whole world in just one trip.
_ [C#] _ Save a penny [G#] cause it's jumbo size, [F#] they don't even realize they're [C#] killing the little man, _ [F#] _
_ _ [C#] oh the little man. _ _
_ _ [A#m] Now the court square's [F#] just a set of streets [C#] that people go around, [G#] but they seldom think about the [A#m] little _ [F#] man that built this town.
[C#] Before the big [G#] money shut him down, [C#] he killed the little [N] man. _ _
