[F] [G] Every morning at the mine you'd see him arrive.
He stood six foot six, weighed [Fm] [G] 245, kinda broad at the shoulder, narrow at the hip.
Everybody knew [F] you didn't give no [G] lip to Big John.
[Em] Big John, _ [C] Big John, [D] _ [G] Big Bad John, Big John
[F] [G] Well nobody seemed to know when John called home.
He just drifted into town and stayed [F] all [G] alone.
Didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy.
And if he spoke at all, he just [F] said hi [G] to Big John.
[Gm] Woooah, [Cm] yeah
[D] [F] Somebody [G] said he came from New Orleans
Where he got into a fight over a [F] Cajun [G] queen
In a crash and blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Louisiana fella to the [F] promised [G] land, Big John.
Come on
[Em] Big John, _ [G] Big John, [D] _
[Gm] Big Bad John
_ [F] _ [Gm] _
Well then came the day
At the bottom of the [F] mine when the timber cracked
And men started [C] crying
Miners were praying and hearts beat [D] fast
And everybody thought they'd breathed their last
_ [F] Except John
[G] Big John, Big John, _ _ _ [F] _ [G] Big _ Bad John
_ [F] [G] Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the [F] miners knew as [G] well
Grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree, he just [F] stood there [G] alone, Big John _
[Em] Big John, _ [C] Big John, [D] _
_ [G] Big Bad John
Woooah, _ [F] and with all of his strength he [G] gave a mighty shove
Then [Am] a miner yelled out, there's [Bb] no light above
[Cm] _
[G] And as [Am] twenty men scrambled [G] from a would-be grave
[F] There was only one left [Em] down there to save
[D] _ _ _ _ [F] [G] Big _ _ _ _ John, [F] [G] Big [A] John, [Gm] Big John
_ [F] [Gm] With jacks and timbers they started back [F] down
Then came that rumble way down on the [C] ground
And the smoke and gas belched out of that [D] mine
Everybody knew it was the [Dm] end of the line [Gm] For John
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Cm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Gm] Now they never reopened that worthless pit
They [E] just [C] placed a marble slab in front of it
_ [Em] _
[C] [G] And these few [Dm] words [C] are written on [Cm] that stand
[Gm] At the bottom of this mine [D] lies a big, big man
[G] _ [E] Big John, _ [C] Big [D] John, _ _ Big [G] Bad John
[F] [G] Big _ John, _ Big [F] John, [G] _ Big Bad _ John
[F] Big [G] John, Big [Em] John, _ _ [C] Big [D] Bad _ [G] _ _ John _ _ _
