Great Big Man - Don McLean

This is from McLean`s live album `SOLO`.

When playing A, D and E chords, change between major and 6th chords,
i.e. actually play for instance A A6 A A6 A A6 etc. (blues style)

In the chorus, the `great big man...` part is played like this:

e -----------------------------------------------------
B -----------------------------------------------------
G ----------------------------------------------------- (*)
D -----------------------------------------------------
A --------------0--------------------------------0-----
E --------------------3---2------------1-----0---------
it takes a great big man to win a great big fight.


Intro: A A6 A A6 ...

A
Rust on your fingers, you got trouble at your feet.
A7
Keep the homefires burning, but look out for the heat
D
`cause there`s a man at the window who knows just what you think,
A
and there`s a water boy behind you who won`t give you a drink

E
Well it`s a hard, hard time, no easy road in sight,
(*)
it takes a great big man to win a great big fight.


And when it comes to dying, no matter what you tell,
They`ll let you into a heaven `cause you lived your life in hell.
But they`ve got no way to reward you but to let those breezes blow,
And you`ve got nothing left to do but to let your anger show.

`Cause it`s a hard, hard time, no easy road in sight,
it takes a great big man to win a great big fight.

D A7 D A7
Think about your baby, think about your wife,
D A7 B7 E
Think about your banker who`s trying to take your life.
D A7
Think about this planet that`s rolling through the night.
B7 B7 E
Oh can you turn your back on such a great big fight?


You got the muscle, big man, you got the power,
but you`re getting weaker with each passing hour.
Just like a flame in the rain, like a light in the night,
well if it`s you that must stay, well then it`s you that must fight!

E
`Cause it`s a hard, hard time, your future`s not bright,
(*)
it takes a great big man to win a great big
(*)
great big man to win a great big fight.
