From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) - The Essential Album by Bruce Springsteen

D
  At sixteen she quit high school

to make her fortune in the promised land
          G
She got a job behind the counter in an
    D
all night hamburger stand

She wrote faithfully home to mama
                               Bm
"Now mama don't you worry none"
         D
From small things, mama
A                     D
Big things one day come

It was late one Friday he pulled in out of the dark
       G
He was tall and handsome; first she
         D
took his order, then she took his heart

They bought a house on the hillside
                               Bm
Where little feet soon would run
         D
From small things, mama
A                     D
Big things one day come

       G
Oh but love is fleeting
     D
it's sad but true
              G
But when your heart is beating
    A
You don't wanna hear the news
    D
She packed her bags and

with a Wyomie County real estate man
        G
She ran down to Tampa
        D
In and "El Dorado Grande"

She wrote back, "Dear Mama
                             Bm
Life is just heaven in the sun
     D
From small things, mama
A                     D
Big things one day come"

Well alright...

Solo | D | D | D | D | G | G | D | D | D | D | D | Bm | D | A | D

         G
Well she shot him dead
     D
On a sunny Florida road
          G
When they caught her all she said
                A
Was she couldn't stand the way he drove

     D
Back home dear Johnny

Prays for his baby's parole
         G
He waits on the hillside
          D
Where the Wyomie waters roll

At his feet and almost grown now
                                      Bm
A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son
     D
Well from small things, mama
A                     D
Big things one day come

Well from small things, mama
A                     D
Big things one day come
