Big Shot Acoustic chords by Billy Joel

Verse 1:
              Em                G
Well you went uptown riding in your limousine
          Em            G
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
            Em                G7
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
                      C7
And the spoon up your nose

             Em                            G
And when you wake up in the morning With your head on fire
         Em              G
And your eyes too bloody to see
          Em                  G7
Go on and cry in your coffee but don't
                 C7
Come -------' to me

Chorus:
                        G   F   G     C
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
 C          G   F      G
You had to open up your mouth
                G   F   G      F
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
         G7           F        C7
All your friends were so knocked out
                 G         F    G     F
You had to have the last word, last night
               C      F
You know what everything's about
                    F    C   F   C7
You had to have a white hot spotlight
    G7           C             D
You had to be a big shot last night

Verse 2:
          Em                   G
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
        Em                   G
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
        Em                   G
And the story of your latest success
         G7             C7
Kept 'em so entertained
               Em                       G
Aw but now you just can't remember all the things you said
           Em                    G
And you're not sure you want to know
              Em                   G7
I'll give you one hint, honey you sure
             C7
Did put on a show

Chorus:
                          G    F     G   F
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
           G7       F        C
You had to prove it to the crowd
                G     F      G      F
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
         G7            F        C7

You're so much fun to be around
                    F    C      F    C7
You had to have the front page, bold type
    G7           C                   G
You had to be a big shot last night Whoa...

Verse 3:
           Em                    G
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
       Em                     G
If you know when to leave it alone
             Em                         G7
But you went over the line you couldn't see
                  C7
It was time to go home

Chorus:
                                        G     F     G    F
No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
 C           G   F    G
You had to open up your mouth
                G   F   G      F
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
         G7           F        C7
All your friends were so knocked out
