Big Old World



Am
G Cm
It’s a big old world, big and blue.
G Cm D G D
Its beautiful, spinning just like you, like you
Am G Cm G Cm
Pretty babe, just like you.
G Cm
Its time to rest your weary head,
G Cm D G
Climb into your soft warm bed.
F G Fm A Bb B
Take my hand as you sink into the sand.
C Em B7
And don’t believe the lies when they say its small
C D G Cm G Cm G Cm D G D Am
It aint at all. It’s a big old world, little girl.
And when you come back from slumber town
Gonna get lost in eider down.
Hear the ocean inside a shell
So many things to tell you.
And don’t believe the lies when they say its small
It aint at all.
It’s a big old world, little girl.
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye.
