Little Man Chords by Alan Jackson

[G#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] I 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 only things
I thought to carry, 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 coat 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 [F#] just a set of streets [C#] that people go round, but [G#] they
seldom think about [A#m] the little [F#] man that built this town [C#] before the big money [G#] shut him down
and [C#] killed the little _ man, [F#] _
_ _ [C#] oh the little man.
_ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] He pumped your gas [G#] and he'd clean your glass,
[F#] one cold rainy night, fix your flat.
[C#] A new store came where [G#] you do it yourself, and you
[F#] buy a lot of old 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#] he couldn't sell slurpees, he wouldn't sell
[B] beer.
[G#] [C#] Now the bank rents a station [G#] to a man down the road and [F#] they sell velvet Elvis,
second hand 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 round, [G#] but they seldom think [A#m] about
the little man [F#] that built this town [C#] before the big money [G#]
shut him down and [C#] killed the
little man, _ [F#] _
_ _ [C#] oh the little man. _ _
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Now the stores are lined up [G#] in a concrete strip, [F#] you can
buy the whole world in just one trip.
_ [C#] You 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
just [F#] a set of streets [C#] that people go round, [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 and [C#] killed the little man, _ [F#] _
_ _ [C#] oh
the little man. _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] It wasn't long [G#] ago when I was a [F#] child, an old black man came with his
mule and his plow, [C#] he broke the ground [G#] where we grew our garden, [F#] back before we'd all had
a garden, _ _ _ [C#] without the little man, _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] the little man, _ [F#] _ _ long [C#] live the little man, _ _ [F#] _ _ _
God bless [C#] the little man. _
