Big Star - Kenny Chesney

Intro  A-D

She was aware of her insecurities as she took the stage
She was convinced if she got up there
That she'd be discovered someday

               D                                             E               A

So she belted it, she hit the high notes fearlessly
                 D

Oh she melted them, as she brought them to their feet

CH    A-D

She was a big star at Banana Joe's bar
Where she sang karaoke every night
She said if you work hard to get where you are
               Bm                           E                           A

It feels good in the hot spotlight      She was a big star

VR  A-D  4x then

She made the local cable shows
Where the camera fell in love with her face
After a couple of weekends
The groupies were crawling all over the place

                 D                                                     E                        A

She signed autographs like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt
                       D

and in the aftermath, that small time town was hers

CH

LEAD

BR

F#m            G

She doesn't care anymore
                        D                                    A

That her high school girlfriends cut her down

F#m                                G

They only thought she entertains
       D                                                   

Is where they are               and where she is now

VR  A-D 2x then in

Her old neighbors swear they're certain she slept her way to the top
She knows you don't get where you're going
Unless you got something they ain't got

                D                        E     A

So she sings tonight to 20, 000 plus
                    D

And the young girls scream out loud Man that could be us
