Big Time

Neil Young

G  F#  Em  F  C   G

G  F#        Gonna leave the pain behind 

Em  F       gonna leave the fools in line

C     G      Gonna take the magic potion

G  F#        Getting in an old black car 

Em  F       gonna take a ride so far

C     G      To the land of suntan lotion

G  F#        Gonna take it state by state 

Em  F       'til I hit the Golden Gate

C     G      Get my feet wet in the ocean

 

[Chorus]:

G  F#  C   I'm still living the dream we had

G  F#  C   For me it's not over

G  F#  C   I'm still living the dream we had

G  F#  C   For me it's not over

G  F#  Em  F  C   G

 

G  F#        Walkin on the bridge on day 

Em  F       lookin out across the bay

C     G      I saw a rippling in the water

G  F#        Once a big ship had passed 

Em  F       I borrowed a traveler's glass

C     G      And focused on the ocean's daughter

G  F#        Kind of like a wave confused   

Em  F       dancing in the sunset hews

C     G      She waved to me and called me over

 

[Chorus]

 

Em  C  D (x4) 

Em  D (x4) 

G  F#  Em  F  C   G

 

 

G  F#        Talkin' bout a friend of mine 

Em  F       talkin' bout a gold mine

C     G      Richest vein in any mountain

Em  F       Talkin' bout the enemy  inside of me

C     G      Talkin' bout that youthful fountain

G  F#        Talkin' bout you and me 

Em  F       talkin' bout eternity

C     G      Talkin' bout the big time

 

[Chorus]

 

Em  C  D (x4) 

Em  D (x4) 

G  F#  Em  F  C   G

 

G  F#        Gonna leave the pain behind 

Em  F       gonna leave the fools in line

C     G      Gonna take the magic potion
