The Big Ones Get Away

(intro) C Am F C G 

                                                         C                                       Am 
    Hey, Baby I just got back from town where the bribes are paid, 
                                                   F 
    honey, they turned my offer down, 
                                                  C          G 
    they say the deal's already made. 
                                               C                                  Am 
    So now I must stand and watch while it all comes down, 
                                                F 
    and the buzzards and the hawks, 
                                                               C         G 
    and the judges and the mob circle around. 

                                    C                    Am 
    Now if I were the queen of all the world, 
                             F 
    I would fall in chains, 
                               C      G 
     just to see you free 
                                 C                                     Am 
    of the ropes that bind you and the role you play, 
                                    F 
    and the pride that hooks you, 
                                            C      G 
    while the big ones get away. 

C 
    Love junkies wanna change the world: 
Am 
      it quickly stays the same, 
F 
    and money junkies hire all the smart ones, 
C                                      G 
    power junkies run the game 

                              C                Am 
    One step at a time, Polarity Hill, 
                                       F 
    if the bad guys don't get you, baby, 
                                     C       G 
    then the good guys will. 
                                    C                                      Am 
    With angels on the take and gangsters in the yard, 
                                               F 
    hey, don't the wars come easy, 
                                                 C        G 
    hey, don't the peace come hard. 

                              C                       Am 
    Now, if I had a way to reach the sky, 
                                          F 
    I'd grab that crescent moon, 
                                                                  C       G 
    wield it like a knife, save you from the lies, 
                                     C                                     Am 
    from the ropes that bind you and the role you play, 
                                     F 
    and the game that hooks you, 
                                              C     G 
     while the big ones get away.
