C                                         G 
I remember walkin' round the court square sidewalks      
  F 
 Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't  want 
C                                             G 
There's Johnson's Hardware and Morman's Jewelry 
F 
And the old Lee Kings  apothacary   
                      C            F         C            F 
They were the little man      The little man 
 
C                         G 
I go back now the stores are empty 
F 
except and old coke sign dated 1950 
C                             G 
Boarded up like they never existed     
    F     
or renovated and called historic districts 
                       C            F                           C            F 
There goes the little man        there goes the little man 
 

Am F Now the court square's just a set of streets C G that people go round but the seldom think Am F bout' the little man that built this town C G before the big money shut um' down C F C F and killed the little man ah, 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 The new store came where you do it yourself F You buy lotto ticket and food off the shelf C F C forget the little man forget about that little man C G He hung on there for a few more years F but he couldn't sell slurpies 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 Elvis and 2nd hand clothes C F C F there goes the little man there goes another little man Repeat Chorus: C G Now store's lined up in a concrete strip F You buy the whole world in just one trip C G You save a penny cause it's jumbo size F and they don't ever realize C F C F their killin' the little man ah, the little man Repeat Chorus: C G It wasn't long ago 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 C F C F about the little man the little man long live the little man C God Bless the little man
