SOMETHING BIG
(Burt Bacharach - Hal David)

Lightly Bossa Nova (4/4)


DMaj9					Bm9Bm9
Like a grain of sand that wants to be a rolling stone
	 E minor 7Em7
I want to be the man I'm not,
and have the things
	  A7(sus 4)
I really
    DMaj7       GMaj7
haven't got, and that's a lot.

(Refrain)
There'll be joy
	F#m7F#m7  E minor 7Em7
and there'll be laughter.
Dmaj7Dmaj7		 Gmaj7Gmaj7		 Gm6Gm6
Something big is what I'm after now
	 Bm7Bm7	  A augmentedA	 GMaj
Yes, it's what I'm after now.

	   F#m7F#m7  E minor 7Em7
After taking, take up giving,
Dmaj7Dmaj7		 Gmaj7Gmaj7		  Gm6Gm6
something big is what I'm living for.
	 Bm7Bm7	  A augmentedA	 Gmaj7Gmaj7
Yes, it's what I'm living for,
    BMaj7Bmaj7
living for.


DMaj9Dmaj9			  Bm9Bm9
Why do I go on and fill my life with little things
	    E minor 7Em7
when there are big things I must do,
		    A7(sus4)
and lots of dreams that really
	  Dmaj7Dmaj7	  Gmaj7Gmaj7
should come true before I'm through.

(Refrain)
There'll be joy… (and so on)
	   F#m7F#m7  E minor 7Em7
After taking, take up giving… (and do on)
