Little Songs

[Intro]
A  E  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
There's an old man in the foothills
                D                       A
And if he ain't dead, he's living there still
A
Loved them little cuttin' horses
E
All his life
         D
That's a high-dollar habit
         A            D
He don't mind, he's financed it
         A     E
Building songs
           A
And losing wives
 
 
[Chorus]
              D                E
You won't get much on mountain time
       A     E             D
Except older and a thicker hide
           A                F#m
You got to fill the big empty
            E
With little songs
 
 
[Verse 2]
          A
There's a lady on the highline
               D                   A
She's fighting drought and her own mind
A
Day by day, she's been losing
E
To the wind
         D
'Cause between the price of feed
        A                  D
And the moisture she don't see
  A                     E
A gal considers selling out
           A
Or pitting in
 
 
[Chorus]
              D              E
You might not see a soul for days
        A                 D
On them high and lonesome plains
           A                F#m
You got to fill the big empty
            E
With little songs
           A    E
You got to fill the big empty
            A   E A
With little songs
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
A   D  A E A
E   D   A  D
A  E  A
 
 
[Outro]
A               E
You got to fill the big empty
            A
With little songs
