Alan Jackson

Guitar: Riff

Intro: C/F/C/F

C G

I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk

F

Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want

C G

There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry

F

And the ol' Lee king's apothecary

C F

They ware the little man

C

The little man

Verse:II 'Same chords as the first'

I go back now and the stores are all empty

Except for an old coke sign from 1950

Boarded up like they never existed

Or renovated and called historic districts

There goes the little man

There goes the little man

Chorus:

Am F

Now the court square's just a set of streets

C G

That the people go round but they seldom think

Am F

Bout the little man that built this town

C G

Before the big money shut em down

C F

And killed the little man

C F

Oh the little man

Verse: III

He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass

And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat

The new stores came where you do it yourself

You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf

Forget about the little man

Forget about that little man

Verse:IV

He hung on there for a few more years

But he couldn't sell slurpees

And he wouldn't sell beer

Now the bank rents the station

To a down the road

And sell velvet Elvis and

Second-hand clothes

There goes little man

There goes another little man

Chorus: Am/F/C/G/Am/F/C/G/C/F/C

Violin solo: / Guitar Am/F/C/G/Am/F/C/G/C

Verse: V =

Now the are lined up in a concrete strip

You can buy the world with just one trip

And save a penny cause it's jumbo size

They don't even realize

They'er killin' the little man

Oh the little man

Chorus: Am/F/C/G/Am/F/C/G/C/F/C/F

Verse: VI 'Slow strum'

C G

It wasn't long when I was a child

F

An old black man came with his plow

C G

He broke the ground where we grew our garden

F NC

Back before we'd all forgot

C F

about the little man

C F

The little man

C F

Long live the little man

NC slow strum: C

God bless the little man
