Big Shot




Intro: 

Em              G               Em              G 
Em              D6              C       F/C     C 



verse 1: 

              Esus4                 G 
Well you went uptown riding in your limousine 
          Esus4            G 
With your fine Park Avenue clothes 
            Esus4                D6 
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand 
                      C    F/C    C 
And the spoon up your nose 


             Esus4                            G 
And when you wake up in the morning With your head on fire 
         Esus4              G 
And your eyes too bloody to see 
          Esus4                  D6 
Go on and cry in your coffee but don't  
                 C      F/C     C 
Come bitchin' to me 


                        G/F F/C   G/F    F/C 
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you 
           G/F  F/C     G/F 
You had to open up your mouth 
                G   F/D   G      F/D 
You had to be a big shot, didn't you 
         G            F/D        C 
All your friends were so knocked out 
    Em7             G/F  F/C   G/F  F/C 
You had to have the last word, last night 
              G/F  F/C      F 
You know what everything's about 
                  F/C   C   F/C  C 
You had to have a white hot spotlight 
    G/C         G/D D    G/D  D 
You had to be a big shot last night

verse 2: 

          Esus4                   G 
They were all impressed with your Halston dress 
        Esus4                   G 
And the people that you knew at Elaine's 
        Esus4                   G 
And the story of your latest success 
                 C      F/C     C 
Kept 'em so entertained 


               Esus4                       G 
Aw but now you just can't remember all the things you said 
           Esus4                G 
And you're not sure you want to know 
              Esus4               D6 
I'll give you one hint, honey you sure  
             C  F/C     C 
Did put on a show 



                          G/F F/C   G/F    F/C 
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you 
           G/F      F/C    G/F 
You had to prove it to the crowd 
                G   F/D   G      F/D 
You had to be a big shot, didn't you 
         G            F/D        C 
All your friends were so knocked out 
    Em7             G/F  F/C   G/F  F/C 
You had to have the last word, last night 
               G/F    F/C     F 
You're so much fun to be around 
                    F/C   C     F/C  C 
You had to have the front page, bold type 
    G/C         G/D D    G/D  D 
You had to be a big shot last night Whoa...

F    F/A  F/C   C    C/E  C/G

verse 3: 

           Esus4                    G 
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in 
       Esus4                     G 
If you know when to leave it alone 
             Esus4                      D6 
But you went over the line you couldn't see  
                  C     F/C     C 
It was time to go home 



                                        G/F F/C   G/F    F/C 
No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you 
           G/F  F/C     G/F 
You had to open up your mouth 
                G   F/D   G      F/D 
You had to be a big shot, didn't you 
         G            F/D        C 
All your friends were so knocked out 
    Em7             G/F  F/C   G/F  F/C 
You had to have the last word, last night 
        G/F    F/C     F 
So much fun to be around 
                  F/C   C   F/C  C 
You had to have a white hot spotlight 
    G/C         G/D D    G/D  D 
You had to be a big shot last night
