C# G#
I remember walking round the court square sidewalks
F#
Looking in windows at things I couldn't want
C# G#
There's Johnson's Hardware and Morton's Jewelry
And the Old E King and the pots they carried
They're the little man The little man
C# G#
I go back now the stores are empty
F#
'Cept an old coke sign dated 1950
C# G#
Boarded up like they never existed
F#
Renovated and called historic district
There goes the little man There goes the little man
Chorus:
Now the court squares's just a set of streets
C# G#
People go round but they seldom think
About the little man that built this town
C# G#
Before the big money shut 'em down
And killed the little man offed 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#
A new store came where you do it yourself
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
Forget the little man forget about the little man
C# G#
He hung on there for a few more years
F#
He couldn't sell slurpees and he wouldn't sell beer
C# G#
Now the bank rents the station to a man down the road
And they sell velvet Elvises and second hand clothes
There goes the little man There goes another little man
Go to Chorus, lead
C# G#
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip
F#
You can buy the whole world in just one trip
C# G#
Save a penny cause it's jumbo size
F#
They don't even realize
They're killing the little man Offed the little man
Go to Chorus,
C# G#
It wasn't long ago when I was a child
F#
An old black man came with his mule and plow
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
F#
Back before we'd all forgotten
About the little man The little man,
Long live the little man, God bless the little man
