Song:           Big Time
Artist:         Neil Young
Album:          Broken Arrow (1996)
Tabbed by:      Javier de la Fuente
[Intro] 
G   D/F#  Em   F  C     G     G   D/F#  Em   F  C     G
[Verse]
G               D/F#       Em                 F
Gonna leave the pain behind  gonna leave the fools in line
C                     G
Gonna take the magic potion
G               D/F#       Em               F
Getting in an old black car  gonna take a ride so far
C                     G
To the land of suntan lotion
G               D/F#        Em                F
Gonna take it state by state  'till I hit the Golde Gate
C                     G
Get my feet wet in the ocean
[Chorus]
G         D/F#       C
I'm still living the dream we had
G   D/F#        C
For me it's not over 
G         D/F#       C
I'm still living the dream we had
G   D/F#        C
For me it's not over

[Verse]
G              D/F#        Em              F
Walkin on the bridge on day  lookin out across the bay
C                        G
I saw a rippling in the water
G           D/F#          Em                 F
Once a big ship had passed  I borrowed a traveler's glass
C                             G
And focused on the ocean's daughter
G               D/F#         Em                 F
Kind of like a wave confused    dancing in the sunset hews
C                              G
She waved to me and called me over
[Chorus]
G         D/F#       C
I'm still living the dream we had
G   D/F#        C
For me it's not over  
G         D/F#       C
I'm still living the dream we had
G   D/F#        C
For me it's not over

[Verse]
G              D/F#          Em                F
Talkin' bout a friend of mine  talkin' bout a gold mine
C                    G
Richest vein in any mountain
G                D/F# Em  F
Talkin' bout the enemy  inside of me
C                           G
Talkin' bout that youthful fountain
G             D/F#     Em            F
Talkin' bout you and me  talkin' bout eternity
C                     G
Talkin' bout the big time
[Chorus]
G         D/F#       C
I'm still living the dream we had
G   D/F#        C
For me it's not over
G         D/F#       C
I'm still living the dream we had
