From Small Things Big Things Come Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Ah one two three four, one two three four
At sixteen she quit high school
To make a fortune in the promised land
She got a [G]job behind the counter
In an [D]all- night hamburger stand

[Verse 2]
She wrote [D]faithfully home to Mama
Now Mama don't you worry none
From small things Mama,
[A]big things one day come
[D]

[Verse 3]
It was late one Friday
He pulled in outta the dark
He was [G]tall and handsome
First she took his [D]order,
then she took his heart

[Verse 4]
They bought a [D]house on the hillside
Where little feet soon
would [Bm]rock
Well from [D]small things Mama,
[A]big things one day come
[D]

[Verse 5]
Oh, but [G]love is fleeting
It's [D]sad but true
When your [G]heart is bleeding
You [A]don't want to hear the news

[Verse 6]
She [D]packed her bags
And with a Wyoming County
Real Estate man
She went [G]down to Tampa
In an [D]El dorado Grand

[Verse 7]
She wrote [D]back dear mama
Life is just heaven in the [Bm]sun
[D]From small things Mama,
[A]big things one day come

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 8]
Well, she [G]shot him dead on
[D]a sunny Florida road
And when they [G]caught her all she said
Was she couldn't [A]stand
the way he drove

[Verse 9]
Back [D]home, dear Johnny prays
for his Betty's parole
He waits [G]high on the hillside
where the [D]lonely waters roll
At his feet and almost grown now
Blue eyed daughter and a handsome [Bm]son

[Verse 10]
Well [D]from small things Mama,
[A]big things one day [D]come
Yeah, from small things Mama,
[A]big things one day [D]come

[Outro 1]
