From Small Things Big Things One Day Come(Chords)

	        D 
  At sixteen she quit high school  
to make her fortune in the promised land 
          G 
She got a job behind the counter in an 
    D 
all night hamburger stand  
She wrote faithfully home to mama 
                               Bm 
'Now mama don't you worry none' 

         D 
From small things, mama 
A                     D 
Big things one day come 
It was late one Friday he pulled in out of the dark 
       G 
He was tall and handsome; first she 
         D 
took his order, then she took his heart  
They bought a house on the hillside 
                               Bm 
Where little feet soon would run 

         D 
From small things, mama 
A                     D 
Big things one day come 
       G 
Oh but love is fleeting 
     D 
it's sad but true 
              G 
But when your heart is beating 
    A 
You don't wanna hear the news 
    D 
She packed her bags and  
with a Wyomie County real estate man 
        G 
She ran down to Tampa 
        D 
In and 'El Dorado Grande' 
She wrote back, 'Dear Mama 
                             Bm 
Life is just heaven in the sun 

     D 
From small things, mama 
A                     D 
Big things one day come' 
  

Well alright... 

  

Solo: 
     D G D   Bm    D A  D 


         G 
Well she shot him dead 
     D 
On a sunny Florida road 
          G 
When they caught her all she said 
                A 
Was she couldn't stand the way he drove 

  

     D 
Back home dear Johnny 
Prays for his baby's parole 
         G 
He waits on the hillside 
          D 
Where the Wyomie waters roll 
At his feet and almost grown now 
                                      Bm 
A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son 
     D 
Well from small things, mama 
A                     D 
Big things one day come 
Well from small things, mama 
A                     D 
Big things one day come
