[G] [F]
Every moning at the mine you could see him arrive
[G] [F]
He stood six foot six and weighed 245
[G] [F]
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
[G] [F] [G]
And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John.
[Em] [C] [D] [G]
Big John, Big Jaw----won, Big Bad John.
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
Didn't say much a-kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all you just said high to Big John
Somebody said he came down from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
And a crashing blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Louisiana fellow to the Promised Land Big John
(Chorus)
[Ab] [Gb]
Then came one day at the bottom of the mine
[Ab] [Gb]
When a timber cracked and the men started crying
[Ab] [Gb]
Miners were paraying and their hearts beat fast
[Ab] [Gb] [Ab]
And everybody thought they'd breathed their last 'cept John
[Ab] [Gb]
Through the dust and the smoke of this man made Hell
[Ab] [Gb]
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
[Ab] [Gb]
Grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a groan
[Ab] [Gb] [Ab]
And like a giant oak tree just stood there alone Big John
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
Big John, Big Jaw----won, Big Bad John
[A] [G]
With all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
[A] [G]
Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above
[A] [G]
And 20 men scrambled from w would be grave
[A] [G] [A]
Now there's only one left down there to save Big John
[A] [G]
With jacks and timbers they started back down
[A] [G]
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
[A] [G]
And smoke and gas belched from outta that mine
[A] [G] [A]
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John
[F#m] [D] [E] [A]
Big John, Big Jaw----won, Big Bad John.
Return to G
Now they never re-opened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few lines are written on that stand
"At the bottom of this mine, lies one Helluva man.--BIG JOHN".
(Chorus)
