Little Man Teclado

	  C#                             G# 
I remember walking round the court square sidewalks 
F# 
Looking in windows at things I couldn't want 
C#                               G# 
There's Johnson's Hardware and Morton's Jewelry 
         F# 
And the Old E King and the pots they carried 
              C#       F#       C# 
They're the little man    The little man 
C#                  G# 
I go back now the stores are empty 
F# 
'Cept an old coke sign dated 1950 
C#                     G# 
Boarded up like they never existed 
F#                 
Renovated and called historic district 
                  C#      F#                  C# 
There goes the little man    There goes the little man 
 
Chorus: 
          A#m                   F# 
Now the court squares's just a set of streets 
C#                          G# 
People go round but they seldom think 
            A#m             F#  
About the little man that built this town 
C#                    G#  
Before the big money shut 'em down 
                 C#       F#                   C#    
And killed the little man    offed the little man 
 
 
C#                           G# 
He pumped your gas and he'd clean your glass 
F#  
One cold rainy night he fixed your flat 
C#                         G#    
A new store came where you do it yourself 
     F# 
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf 
             C#       F#                    C# 
Forget the little man    forget about the little man 
C#                      G# 
He hung on there for a few more years 
F#      
He couldn't sell slurpees and he wouldn't sell beer 
C#                                   G# 
Now the bank rents the station to a man down the road 
                F# 
And they sell velvet Elvises and second hand clothes 
                 C#       F#                       C# 
There goes the little man     There goes another little man 
Go to Chorus, lead 
C#                                 G# 
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip 
F# 
You can buy the whole world in just one trip 
C#                        G# 
Save a penny cause it's jumbo size 
F#            
They don't even realize 
                      C#       F#              C#  
They're killing the little man     Offed the little man 
 
Go to Chorus, 
C#                      G# 
It wasn't long ago when I was a child 
F# 
An old black man came with his mule and plow 
     C#                       G# 
He broke the ground where we grew our garden 
F# 
Back before we'd all forgotten 
            C#        F#        C#       F# 
About the little man     The little man,  
                 C#       F#                           C# 
Long live the little man,    God bless the little man
