Big Sister

                    C
Big sister’s got a light above

Big sister, big shadow
                     F
She’s got the kinda shade
               G
That makes me afraid
                 C
Big sister, big shadow

C
Big sister’s telling lies again

Big sister, big secret
                  F
I’m scared of her so
                G
I won’t tell a soul
               C
Big sister, big secret


[chorus]
C
She’s daddy’s girl
             Am
The one that made him sigh
     F                           G
And nice, pretty things sparkled in his eye
    Am                                C
And just about the time these things lost their new
          F
There came me
   G                 C
But only she could be daddy’s girl
Am
I was the one
F                  G        C
Who should’ve been daddy’s son


[Verse 2]
C
Big sister gets her first steps

Big sister learns to run
                    F                  G
Big sister gets to daddy’s knee before me
                 C
Big sister’s no fun


[Chorus 2]
                                      Am
And I’m just playing with things that she’s played out
     F                      G
And learning things she’s known about
    Am                C
One step behind, one step too slow
   F
I can’t keep up
   G
She won’t wait up
      Am
She’s daddy’s girl
    C
And I was the one
    F              G       C
Who should’ve been daddy’s son


[Verse 3]
C

Big sister gets new clothes

Big sister, big shadow
                  F        G
Big sister never wants me around
                        C
She don’t care where I go

C
Big sister gets to first base

Big sister, big tramp
                     F                G
Big sister’s wearing make-up on her face
                       C
She don’t care that I can’t


Bridge: C, Am, F, G, Am, C, F, G   (play twice)


[Verse 4]
C
Big sister’s tellin’ lies again

Big sister, big secret
                   F
I’m scared of her so
                G
I won’t tell a soul
                 C
Big sister, big secret
                     F
She’s got the kinda shade
               G
That makes me afraid
                C
Big sister, big shadow
