Alan Jackson - Little Man Chords

Chord reference C, G, F, Am

Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

I [C]remember walking round the [G]court square sidewalk [F]Lookin’ in windows at things I could want [C]There’s Johnson’s hardware and [G]Morgan’s jewelry And the [F]old Lee King’s apothecary They were the [C]little man, [F]the [C]little man [F]

[C]I go back now and the [G]stores are all empty [F]Except for an old coke sign dated 1950 [C]Boarded up like they [G]never existed [F]Or renovated and called historic districts There goes the [C]little man, [F]there goes the [C]little man

Now the [Am]court square’s just a [F]set of streets. That the [C]people go round but [G]they seldom think. Bout the [Am]little man that [F]built this town. [C]Before the big money [G]shut em down. And killed the [C]little man, [F]oh the [C]little man.

[C]He pumped your gas and [G]he cleaned your glass And [F]one cold rainy night he fixed your flat [C]The new stores came where you [G]do it yourself You buy a [F]lotto ticket and food off the shelf Forget about the [C]little man, [F]forget about that [C]little man

[C]He hung on there for a [G]few more years But he [F]couldn’t sell slurpees, and he wouldn’t sell beer Now the [C]bank rents the station, to a [G]man down the road And they [F]sell velvet Elvis and second-hand clothes There goes the [C]little man [F]there goes another [C]little man

Now the [Am]court square’s just a [F]set off streets. That the [C]people go round but [G]they seldom think. Bout the [Am]little man that [F]built this town. [C]Before the big money [G]shut em down. And killed the [C]little man, [F]oh the [C]little man.

Now the [C]stores are lined up in a [G]concrete strip You can [F]buy the world with just one trip [C]And save a penny cause it’s [G]jumbo size And [F]they don’t even realize They’re killing the [C]little man, [F]oh the [C]little man

[C]It wasn’t long when [G]I was a child An [F]old black man came with his plow [C]He broke the ground where we [G]grew our garden [F]Back before we’d all forgot About the [C]little man, [F]the [C]little man [F] Long live the [C]little man, [F]God bless the [C]little man
