Woody Guthrie - Biggest Thing Man Has Ever Done
=================================================
No capo
[Verse 1]
C C G C
I'm just a lonesome traveler, the Great Historical Bum
C G C
Highly educated, from history I have come
C F C
I built the Rock of Ages, 'twas in the year of one
C G C
And that's about the biggest thing that man had ever done
[Verse 2]
C G C
I worked in the Garden of Eden, that was the year of two
C G
Joined the apple pickers' union, I always paid my due
C F C
I'm the man that signed the contract to raise the rising sun
C G C
That was about the biggest thing that man had ever done
[Verse 3]
C G C
I was straw boss on the pyramids, and the Tower of Babel, too
C G C
Opened up the ocean, let the migrant children through
C F C
I fought a million battles and I never lost a one
C G C
And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done
[Verse 4]
C F C
I beat the daring Roman, I beat the daring Turk
C G C
Defeated Nero's army with thirty minutes work
C F C
I fought the greatest leaders and I licked them every one
C G C
And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done
[Verse 5]
C G C
I was in the Revolution when we set the country free
C G C
It was me and a couple of Indians that dumped the Boston tea
C F C
We won the battle at Valley Forge, and battle of Bully Run
C G C
That was about the biggest thing that man had ever done
[Verse 6]
C G C
There's a man across the ocean and I guess you know him well
C G
His name is Adolf Hitler and damn his soul to hell
C F C
We'll kick him in the panzers and put him on the run
C G C
That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done
[Verse 7]
C G C
There's mines and mills and factories that run for Uncle Sam
C F C
Producin' for the soldier boys that fight for this great land
C F C
Our job it is a tough one, it'll take us every one
C G C
But this will be the biggest thing that man has ever done
[Verse 8]
C F C
There's warehouse guys and teamsters and guys that skin the cats
C G
Guys that run the steel mills, the furnace and the blast
C F C
We'll stop the Axis rattlesnakes and thieves of old Nippon
C G C
That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done
[Verse 9]
C G C
Well, I'd better quit my talking, 'cause I told you all I know
C G
Please remember, pardner, wherever you may go
C F C
The world is digging Hitler's grave and when the job is done
C G C
That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done
C G C/E
Yes, that'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done
