I. Verse
--------

E                                     A
Mommy, Daddy come and look at me now
E                                     A
I'm a big man in a great big town
E                                     A
Years ago who would believe it's true
E                                     A
Goes to show what a little faith can do


II. Chorus
----------
A        E
I was complaining
     B
I was down in the dumps
A         E
I felt so strong now cause you
B
Pulled me up
          A
Pulled me up-up-up-up
B
Up-up-up-up

I slipped
And I got pulled
Pulled up
I tripped
And then you pulled
You pulled me up
I slipped
And I got pulled
Pulled up
I slipped
And then you pulled
You pulled me up

E                                     A
I drift away to another land
E                                     A
Sleeping dreaming such a simple thing
E                                     A
I think of things that I might be
E                                     A
I see my name go down in history

I got up
And you pulled me up
I stood up
And you pulled me up
I got up
And that was because you pulled me up
I got up
In a little while you pulled me up

 | --CHORUS-- | 

E                                           A
I cast a shadow on the living room wall
E                                           A
Dark and savage with a profile so sharp
E                                           A
Keep that wonderful food on the table
E                                           A
There's really no hurry, I'll eat in a while
