Dave Gunning - Big Shoes





CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO: Cadd9 C   Cadd9  C


I watched him take the stage
       F             C
Like a giant there before me
  F                           Csus4
A poet of the people standing tall
C

Flood lights beaming red
   F                 C
On steel strings and sweat
           F                                G
The finest tunes that ever echoed off those walls


        C
And the power of his voice
    F              C
All rage, fire and thunder
  F                    C          F                 G
I knew that I had changed and I'd never be the same
    C
Now every time since then
       F               C
When I hear his voice again
      F             G      C
I get carried back to that day


CHORUS:
              G       F       C
'Cause it was rock 'n roll to me
            G         F        C
He might as well have been the King
            Am
Now I could walk a thousand miles
             G               C
And it would be like I stood still
         Dm7        F
Spend my whole life trying
        Dm7   F          C       Cadd9  C
And I'd never fill those shoes



I got my first guitar
     F                  C
When I was twelve years old
         F                          Csus4
It was a fifteen dollar flea market prize
C
Something in me burned
        F                  C
From my fingers through my veins
        F                            G
And the fullest moon lit the darkest skies


    C
Now I'm just one of many
        F              C
Setting out along this path
     F                  C
Over dirt roads that he paved
    F                 G
And new roads that he made
C
Searching for a song
         F              C
With his 🏷Legend shining on
         F                G              C
Like the Queensport Light glowing in the bay


CHORUS:
       G       F       C
It was rock 'n roll to me
            G         F        C
He might as well have been the King
            Am
Now I could walk a thousand miles
             G               C
And it would be like I stood still
         Dm7        F
Spend my whole life trying
        Dm7   F          C
And I'd never fill those shoes


INSTRUMENTAL: C   F  C  F   Dm7   C   F  C  F  G  C


CHORUS:
       G       F       C
It was rock 'n roll to me
            G         F        C
He might as well have been the King
            Am
Now I could walk a thousand miles
             G               C
And it would be like I stood still
         Dm7        F
Spend my whole life trying
        Dm7   F          C
And I'd never fill those shoes
    Dm7   F          C
