Big Man In A Big House (CHORDS) by Leroy van Dyke
[INTRO]~
F G
(He's a big man,, in a big house!)
C F
Well,, when he was a kid he dreamed about a big
C
house on a hill!
F G
Far,, far away from Shantytown and pover-ty!
C F
He was only sixteen,, a kid full of dreams,, when
C
he ran away!
F G
He left his mom a note sayin',, you'll be proud
C
of me some day!
[CHORUS]~
F C F
When I'm a big man in a big house,, with acres and
C
acres of ground!
F C F
I'll be a big man in a big house,, with a big high
C
fence all around!
F C G
A big high fence all around!
C F C
Well,, he settled down in a great big town and he worked
so hard!
F G
But the harder he'd work the more he'd spend,, it seemed!
C F
And all his new found friends they made fun of him and
C
said,, come along!
F G C
And we'll show you how you can fulfill all your dreams!

He was just twenty-one when a loaded gun was his
downfall!

For he joined the gang,, he did something he shouldn't
G
do!

Then one rainy night the police came by and they took
him in!

And the judge said,, son,, there's a place for kids like you!
