Verse 1:

C7                                 Gm
 The place where I come from, is a small town.
Cm                                   Gm
 They think so small, they use small words.
        C7                        Gm
But not me; I'm smarter than that; I worked it out.
Cm
 I've been stretching my mouth,
             Gm
To let those big words come right out.

          C7                             Gm
I've had enough, I'm getting out, to the city, the big, big city.
Cm
 I'll be a big noise, with all the big boys,
        Gm
There's so much stuff I will own.

F#                            C7
 And I will pray to a big God, as I kneel in the big church.

 (Big Time),  oh yes.
Gm          Bb           C       F
 (Big Time), I've got to make it show, yeah!

Verse 2:

C7                       Gm
 My parties have all the big names,
                                 Cm
And I greet them with the widest smile.
                                    Gm
Tell them how my life is one big ad-venture.
                     C7
And always they're a-mazed,
                           Gm
When I show them 'round my house, to my bed.
         Cm
I had it made like a mountain range,
                  Gm
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head.

F#
 And my Heaven will be a big Heaven,
C7
 And I will walk through the front door.

 (Big Time),  oh yes.
Gm          Bb           C       F
 (Big Time), I've got to make it show, yeah!
