Chords for Alan Jackson - Little Man (Live at Farm Aid 2000)

[B] _ [G#] A lot of working people.
_ And this song I wrote _ _ _ about all the [N] individuals trying to make a living, whatever they're doing, whether it's owning a [F#] store or _ [N] driving a truck or farmers or whatever.
This song applies to all.
It's a song for the little man I'd like to do.
Three, four, _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ five, _ [F#] _
six, seven, eight.
I [C#] remember walking around [G#] Court Square sidewalk
[F#] Looking in the window at things I couldn't want
[C#] _ Johnson's hardware [G#] and Morgan's jewelry
[F#] The old league Kings of Poplar Care
They [C#] were the little man, _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [C#] the little man
I _ _ _ _ go back [G#] now, the stores are empty
[F#] Seven old coats I dated _ 1950
[C#] _ Boarded up [G#] like they never existed
[F#] They're renovated and called historic business
[C#] There goes the little man, [F#] _ _
there [C#] goes the little _ man _
_ [A#] Now that Court Square's just [F#] a set of streets
[C#] People go around [G#] but they don't know
About the [A#m] little man [F#] who 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#] He pumped your [G#] gas and he'd clean your [F#] glass
One cold rainy night he fixed your flat
[C#] A new store came [G#] where you'd do it yourself
[F#] You'd buy a lot of chicken, food off the shelf
And [C#] forget the little man, _ [F#] _ _
forget about [C#] that little man _ _ _
_ _ He hung on [G#] there for a few more years
[F#] But he couldn't sell slurps, he wouldn't sell beer
[B] [C#] Now the bank rents a station [G#] to a man down the road
And [F#] they sell velvet elves and secondhand clothes
There [C#] goes the little man, _ [F#] _
there goes [C#] another little man _ _ _ _
_ [A#] Now that Court Square's just [F#] a set of streets
[C#] People go around [G#] but they seldom think
[A#m] About the little man [F#] who built this town
[C#] Before the big [G#] money shut him down
And [C#] killed the little man, _ [F#] _ _
_ [C#] oh the little man
Now _
_ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ [A#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ the stores are lined up [G#] in a concrete strip
[F#] You can buy the whole world with 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
_ Now [Fm] _ [A#m] that Court Square's just [F#] a set of streets
[C#] People go around [G#] but they seldom think
[A#m] About the little man [F#] who built this town
[C#] Before the big money [G#] shut him down
And [C#] killed the little man, _ [F#] _ _
_ [C#] the little man
[F#] It _
_ _ [C#] _ wasn't long [G#] ago when I was a child
[F#] An old black man came with his mule and his plow
[C#] And broke the ground [G#] where we grew our garden
[F#] Back before we'd all forgotten
_ _ About [C#] the little man, _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] the little man
_ [F#] _ _ Long [C#] live the little man
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
God bless [B] [C#] the little _ _ man
[G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ Thank y'all so much. _
