[Intro]
C  F  C  F
[Verse 1]
    C                        G
I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
F
Lookin' in windows at things I could want
C                                 G
   There's Johnson's hardware and Morgan's jewelry
        F
And the ol' Lee King's apothecary
              C            F
They were the little man
    C
The little man
[Verse 2]
C                        G
   I go back now and the stores are all empty
  F
Except for an old coke sign dated 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           F
Oh the little man
[Verse 3]
C                          G
   He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
    F
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
C                                G
   The new stores came where you do it yourself
          F
You buy a   lotto ticket and food off the shelf
                 C            F
Forget about the little man
                  C
Forget about that little man
[Verse 4]
C                         G
   He hung on there for a few more years
       F
But he couldn't sell slurpees, and he wouldn't sell beer
        C
Now the bank rents the station
     G
To a man down the road
              F
And they sell velvet Elvis and second-hand clothes
               C            F
There goes the little man
                   C
There goes another 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
[Instrumental]
Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C  G  C  C
[Verse 5]
        C                        G
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip
        F
You can buy the world with just one trip
C                              G
   And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
    F
And they don't even realize
                    C            F
They're killin' the little man
       C
Oh 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           F
Oh the little man
[Verse 6]
C                      G
   It wasn't long when I was a child
   F
An old black man came with his mule and his plow
C                               G
   He broke the ground where we grew our garden
F
Back before we'd all forgotten
          C            F
About the little man
    C            F
The little man
              C            F
Long live the little man
              C
God bless the little man
