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

        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

I'll give you one hint, honey you sure
       C7
Did put on a show

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
