[Verse 1]
F# C#
I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
B
Lookin' in windows at things I could want
F# C#
There's Johnson's hardware and Morgan's jewelry
B
And the ol' Lee King's apothecary
F# B
They were the little man
F#
The little man
[Verse 2]
F# C#
I go back now and the stores are all empty
B
Except for an old coke sign dated 1950
F# C#
Boarded up like they never existed
B
Or renovated and called historic districts
F# B
There goes the little man
F#
There goes the little man
[Chorus]
D#m B
Now the court square's just a set of streets
F# C#
That the people go round but they seldom think
D#m B
Bout the little man that built this town
F# C#
Before the big money shut em down
F# B
And killed the little man
F# B
Oh the little man
[Verse 3]
F# C#
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
B
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
F# C#
The new stores came where you do it yourself
B
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
F# B
Forget about the little man
F#
Forget about that little man
[Verse 4]
F# C#
He hung on there for a few more years
B
But he couldn't sell slurpees, and he wouldn't sell beer
F#
Now the bank rents the station
C#
To a man down the road
B
And they sell velvet Elvis and second-hand clothes
F# B
There goes the little man
F#
There goes another little man
[Chorus]
D#m B
Now the court square's just a set of streets
F# C#
That the people go round but they seldom think
D#m B
Bout the little man that built this town
F# C#
Before the big money shut em down
F# B
And killed the little man
F#
Oh the little man
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
F# C#
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip
B
You can buy the world with just one trip
F# C#
And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
B
And they don't even realize
F# B
They're killin' the little man
F#
Oh the little man
[Chorus]
D#m B
Now the court square's just a set of streets
F# C#
That the people go round but they seldom think
D#m B
Bout the little man that built this town
F# C#
Before the big money shut em down
F# B
And killed the little man
F# B
Oh the little man
[Verse 6]
F# C#
It wasn't long when I was a child
B
An old black man came with his mule and his plow
F# C#
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
B
Back before we'd all forgotten
F# B
About the little man
F# B
The little man
F# B
Long live the little man
F#
God bless the little man
