Big Brother

INTRO: F Bb F

#1.
F                 Bb         F
She was seven and I was just ten..
                    Bb         
when she moved next door to the 
 F
house

we lived in.
    Bb                     F
She followed me around and got in my
 hair..
    C                       F
wherever I looked, she'd be there.

#2.
F                           
An awkward little girl with big 
Bb        F
brown eyes..
Bb                    F
she'd ask me over for tea and mud 
pies.
  Bb                          F
A freckle-faced angel, always in my 
way..
      C                         
but I couldn't refuse when she'd 
 F   F7
say..

CHORUS:
Bb           F

            C
you..wherever
               F

Bb                   F
You're so silly, the things that you
 do..
    C                       
but big brother, how I love 
F......F#
you.

#3.
F#                     B     
As she grew older, I'd take her 
    F#
around..
     B                   F#
we'd go to the fair when it came to 
town.
    B                          F#
The side-shows and candy would keep 
us all day..
    C#                           
and when we were late, she would 
F#  F#7
say..

BRIDGE:
B                          F#
Mother, there's no need to worry and
 fuss..
C#                 F#
my big brother can take care of us.
B                    F#          
He's like one of our own family..big
C#
 brother
              F#.....G
takes care of me.

#4.
G                           C
So, the years flew by, then one 
                G
night in the spring..
C               G
all of a sudden she was eighteen.
   C                          G
No longer the little girl I'd known 
all my life..and I
D                     G
wanted to make her my wife.

#5.
G                         C      
But a few days later, her heart 
    G        C
all aglow..in order that
           G
I'd be the first one to know.
C                        G   
She brought him over and in her 
                  D
sweet way..she told me of
              G   G7
their wedding day.

OUTRO:
C            G                    
Big brother, I'd been so long..but 
 D
now big brother will
G
have to be strong.
    C                        G    
So, I'll turn and hide these tears
               D
 in my eyes..I can't let
                       G
her see..big..brother..cry.
