Little Man

Little Man, Alan Jackson

Capo I

Intro: C, F

Verse 1

C G

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 and the pots they carried

C F

They were the little man

C F

The little man

Verse 2

C G

I go back now and the stores are all empty

F

Except for an old coke sign from 1950

C G

Boarded up like they never existed

F

Or renovated and called historic districts

C F

There goes the little man

C

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

Oh the little man

Same all the way through

Verse 3

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 4

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 man down the road

And they sell velvet Elvis and

Second-hand clothes

There goes little man

There goes another little man

Chorus then lead

Verse 5

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

Verse 6

It wasn't long when I was a child

An old black man came with his plow

He broke the ground where we grew our garden

Back before we'd all forgot about the little man

The little man

Long live the little man

God bless the little man
