Rhythm figure 1 four times, bass and drums enter on third time


Verse: (Guitars tacet; chords implied by bass, vocals)


little man big man who came first
what is the measure of our worth
if the was a storm rolled in

Em (Guitar 1 enters here, playing the chords, lightly)
who'd run inside


who'd go walking

(w/ rhythm figure 1, twice)


little man big man what's inside
it's all in the places
where we find our pride
if there was a soul lost by the road


who'd pass by


who'd take it home
