[Verse]
Bbm
Oh how they cried when they big man died
Bbm Ab Eb
They spilled buckets out their eyes
Bbm
Plain white faces and plain grey stone
Ab Eb
He took that line of cocaine up his nose
[Chorus]
Db
Sing for that big man baby
Ab
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Bb
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
Gb
But that won't bring him back to life now
Bb Bbm
[Transition to Verse]
Bbm
When he went down there was a trembling pull
Ab Eb
And they came far and wide to the funeral
Bbm
When the people showed up they were broken willed
Ab Eb
They drank all day and they popped pills.
[Chorus]
Db
Sing for that big man baby
Ab
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Bb
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
Gb
But that won't bring him back to life now
Bb Bbm
[Transition to Verse]
Bbm
Bones buried young Bones buried deep
Ab Eb
Bones that won't shake now lay to sleep
Bbm
And he looks down Oh he looks up
Ab Eb
He was a good man that was enough
[Chorus] x2
Db
Sing for that big man baby
Ab
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Bb
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
Gb
But that won't bring him back to life now
