Verse 1 CG I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk F Lookin' in windows at things I could want CG There's Johnson's hardware and Morgan's jewelry F And the ol' Lee King's apothecary CF They were the little man CF The little man
Verse 2 CG I go back now and the stores are all empty F Except for an old coke sign dated 1950 CG Boarded up like they never existed F Or renovated and called historic districts CF There goes the little man C There goes the little man
Chorus: AmF Now the court square's just a set of streets CG That the people go round but they seldom think AmF Bout the little man that built this town CG Before the big money shut em down CF And killed the little man C Oh the little man
Verse 3 CG He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass F And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat CG The new stores came where you do it yourself F You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf CF Forget about the little man C Forget about that little man
Verse 4 CG He hung on there for a few more years F But he couldn't sell slurpees, and he wouldn't sell beer C Now the bank rents the station G To a man down the road F And they sell velvet Elvis and second-hand clothes CF There goes the little man C There goes another little man
CHORUS
Verse 5 CG Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip F You can buy the world with just one trip CG And save a penny cause it's jumbo size F And they don't even realize CF They're killin' the little man C Oh the little man
CHORUS
Verse 6 CG It wasn't long when I was a child F An old black man came with his plow CG He broke the ground where we grew our garden F Back before we'd all forgot CF About the little man CF The little man CF Long live the little man C (hold to fade, or strum increasingly slower a few times, then hold) God bless the little man
