Randy Newman - Big Hat No Cattle Chords

[Verse]
F
Since I was a child
              Bb
I've tried to be what I am not
     C                               F
I've lied and I've enjoyed it all my life
  F
I lied to my dear mother
      Bb
To my sisters and my brother
    C                                   F
And now I'm lying to my children and my wife
 
N.C.
 
[Chorus]
    F
Big Hat, no cattle
    Bb
Big head, no brain
    C
Big snake, no rattle
            F
I forever remain
    F
Big hat, no cattle
  Bb
I knew from the start
    C
Big boat, no paddle
    F
Big belly, no heart
 
[Verse]
      F
Can't remember why I do it
       Bb
Oh, maybe I can
   C                                F
An honest man these days is hard to find
  F                            Bb
I only know we're living in an unforgiving land
      C                                         F
And a little lie can buy some real big peace of mind
 
[Bridge]
A7                               Dm
Often times I have wondered what might I have become
C                                 F
 Had I buckled down and really tried
    A7
But when it came down to the wire
            Dm
I called my family to my side
Gm                                           C
Stood up straight, threw my head back, and I lied, lied, lied
 
[Chorus]
F#
Big hat, no cattle
    B
Big shoes, well you know
    C#
Big horse, no saddle
                  F#
He goes wherever I go
 
F#
Big hat, no cattle
B
Right from the start
   C#
Big guns, no battle
              F
Big belly, no heart
 
[Bridge]
A#7
When it came down to the wire
     D#m
I called my little family to my side
   G#m                                       C#
Stood up straight, threw my head back, and I lied, lied, lied
D
Lied, lied, lied
 
[Chorus]
    G
Big hat, no cattle
    C
Big head, no brain
    D
Big snake, no rattle
           G
I forever remain
     G
Big hat, no cattle
  C
I knew from the start
    D
Big boat, no paddle
              G
Big belly, no heart
     D
Big boat, no paddle
             G
Big belly, no heart
