C F C F [Verse 1]C G I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalkF Lookin' in windows at things I could wantC There's Johnson's hardware andG Morgan's jewelryF And the ol' Lee King's apothecaryC F They were the little manC The little man [Verse 2]C G I go back now and the stores are all emptyF Except for an old coke sign dated 1950C G Boarded up like they never existedF Or renovated and called historic districtsC F There goes the little manC There goes the little man [Chorus]Am F Now the court square's just a set of streetsC G That the people go round but they seldom thinkAm F Bout the little man that built this townC G Before the big money shut em downC F And killed the little manC F Oh the little man [Verse 3]Continúa después del anuncioC G He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glassF And one cold rainy night he fixed your flatC The new stores came where you doG it yourselfF You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelfC F Forget about the little manC Forget about that little man [Verse 4]C G He hung on there for a few more yearsF But he couldn't sell slurpees, and he wouldn't sell beerC Now the bank rents the stationG To a man down the roadF And they sell velvet Elvis and second-hand clothesC F There goes the little manC There goes another little man [Chorus]Am F Now the court square's just a set of streetsC G That the people go round but they seldom thinkAm F Bout the little man that built this townC G Before the big money shut em downC F And killed the little manC Oh the little man [Instrumental]Am F C G Am F C G C C [Verse 5]C Now the stores are lined up in aG concrete stripF You can buy the world with just one tripC G And save a penny cause it's jumbo sizeF And they don't even realizeC F They're killin' the little manC Oh the little man [Chorus]Am F Now the court square's just a set of streetsC G That the people go round but they seldom thinkAm F Bout the little man that built this townC G Before the big money shut em downC F And killed the little manC F Oh the little man [Verse 6]C G It wasn't long when I was a childF An old black man came with his mule and his plowC G He broke the ground where we grew our gardenF Back before we'd all forgottenC F About the little manC F The little manC F Long live the little manC God bless the little man
