Big Brother
Recorded by Johnny Paycheck
Written by Jack Clement, Allen Reynolds, Dickey Lee

C                 G7         C
She was seven and I was just ten
     F                          C
When she moved next door to the house we lived in
    F                      C 
She followed me around and got in my hair
    G7                     C
Wherever I looked she'd be there

                            G7        C
An awkward little girl with big brown eyes
      F               C    
She'd ask me over for tea and mud pies
  F                    C  
A freckled faced angel always in my way
      G7                         C
But I couldn't refuse when she'd say

F           C  
Big brother take me with you
    G7                  C 
Wherever you're going I want to go too
F                   C
You're so silly the things that you do
    G7                     C
But big brother how I love you

                      G7       C
As she grew older I'd take her around
     F                   C
We'd go to the fair when it came to town
    F                    C
The side shows and candy would keep us all day
    G7                          C
And when we were late she would day

F                         C
Mother there's no need to worry and fuss
G7                 C
My big brother can take care of us
F                    C
He's like one of our own family
G7                        C
Big brother takes care of me

                          G7           C 
The years flew by and one night in the spring
F               C
All of a sudden she was eighteen
   F                      C
No longer the little girl I'd known all my life
      G7                    C
And I wanted to make her my wife

                         G7        C
But a few days later her heart all aglow
   F                     C
In order that I'd be the first one to know
F                        C     
She brought him over and in her sweet way
G7                       C
Told me of their wedding day

F             C
Big brother I bid so long
G7                    C  
Now big brother we'll have to be strong
F                           C
So I'll turn and hide these tears in my eyes
G7                              C   F  C
I can't let her see big brother cry
