Alan Jackson - Little Man chords with lyrics

_ A while back, I just needed to get away.
_ _ I got in my car one day and just started heading south.
I didn't know where I was going.
I just _ stopped and picked up an Atlas so I wouldn't get lost.
But I didn't go back to my hometown.
_ I went in that direction and through a lot of old areas that I'd traveled through,.
_ A# I guess in search of something, in search of a simpler time in my life or whatever.
I went through a lot of small towns that reminded me of _ where I was raised and places I'd come from.
_ _ It was sad because I realized how much they had changed since I'd been back F in E those areas.
N _ A lot of places were sad because _ _ a lot of them seemed dried up.
It was like a lot of the small town businesses and the mom and pop stores.
and the independence of some of the people who Em had actually F built those towns.
because they were having trouble staying alive, staying in business.
because of all the big chains coming in and everything that takes over these days.
I think it's a very colorful and important part of American history.
I hate to see it going away.
I hope it doesn't.
_ I just wanted to write this song about it.
We made this video in an attempt to recapture some of those scenes and E feelings.
that inspired G the song _ about the little man.

_ _ _ _ I go back now G# and the stores are empty F# except an old Coke sign dated 1950.
_ C# _ Boarded up like G# they never existed, F# but renovated and called Historic Districts.
C# There goes the little man, _ .
F# _ _ there C# goes the little man.
_ _ .
_ _ _ A#m Now the court square's just F# a set of streets.
C# People go around G# but they seldom think A#m about the little man F# that built this town.
C# Before the big money G# shut him down, C# he killed the little man, _ .
F# _ _ _ C# the awful little man.
_ .
F# _ _ _ _ C# He pumped your gas G# and he cleaned your glass.
F# One cold rainy night he fixed your flat.
C# A new store came G# where you do it yourself.
You F# buy a lotto ticket, food off the shelf.
C# Forget the little man, _ _ .
F# _ forget about C# that little man.
_ .
_ _ _ _ He hung on G# there for a few more years.
F# He couldn't sell slurpees, he wouldn't sell B beer.
G# C# Now the bank rents a station G# to a man down the road and F# they sell velvet Elvis.
_ Secondhand clothes, there C# goes the little man, _ .
F# there goes another C# little man.
_ _ .
_ _ _ A#m Now the court square's just F# a set of streets.
C# People go around G# but they seldom think A#m about the little man F# that built this town.

_ _ _ Now the stores are lined up G# in a concrete strip.
F# You can buy the whole world in just one trip.
_ C# _ Save a penny G# cause it's jumbo size.
F# They don't even realize they're C# killing the little man, _ .
F# _ _ _ C# oh the little man.

F# _ _ _ C# oh the little man.
_ .
_ F# _ _ _ C# It wasn't long G# ago when I was a F# child, an old black man came with his mule and his plow.
C# He broke the ground G# where we grew our garden F# back before we'd all forgotten _ about C# the little man, _ F# _ _ _ .
C# the little man.
_ F# _ _ Long C# live the little man.
_ _ F# _ _ _ .
God bless C# the little _ man.
