=================================================
No capo

[Verse 1]
    C                             G                C
I'm just a lonesome traveler, The Great Historical Bum
C                    G              C
Highly educated from history I have come
  C                             F              C
I built the Rock of Ages, 'twas in the Year of One 
    C                                     G            C
And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done


[Verse 2]
  C                                  G               C
I worked in the Garden of Eden, that was the year of two
           C                      G
Joined the apple pickers union, I always paid my due
        C                               F                C
I'm the man that signed the contract to raise the rising sun
C                                   G            C
That's about the biggest thing that man had ever done


[Verse 3]
      C                                   G               C
I was straw boss on the Pyramids, and the Tower of Babel, too 
C                            G                C
Opened up the ocean, let the migrant children through
  C                              F            C
I fought a million battles and I never lost a one
    C                                     G            C
And that was about the biggest thing that man has ever done


[Verse 4]
  C                        F               C
I beat the daring Roman, I beat the daring Turk 
  C                       G              C
Defeated Nero's army with thirty minutes work 
  C                                 F                C
I fought the greatest leaders and I licked them everyone 
    C                                     G            C
And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done


[Verse 5]
      C                         G               C
I was in the Revolution when we set the country free 
         C                            G                 C
It's was me and a couple Indians that dumped the Boston tea
   C                                   F               C
We won the battle at Valley Forge, and battle of Bully Run
C                                   G            C
That's about the biggest thing that man has ever done


[Verse 6]
           C                          G                  C
There is a man across the ocean and I guess you knew him well 
    C                        G
His name is Adolf Hitler and damn his soul to hell 
      C                           F              C
We'll kick him in the panzers and put him on the run 
C                                 G            C
That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done


[Verse 7]
        C                                  G             C
There's mines and mills and factories that run for Uncle Sam
   C                                G                    C               
Producin' for the soldier boys that fight for this great land
    C                            F            C
Our job it is a tough 'un, it'll take us everyone
    C                                   G            C
But this will be the biggest thing that man has ever done


[Verse 8]
        C                                G                  C
There's warehouse guys and teamsters and guys that skin the cats
C                                 G 
Guys that run the steel mill, the furnace and the blast
      C                              F              C
We'll stop the Axis rattlesnakes and thieves of old Nippon
    C                                   G            C
And that will be the biggest thing that man has ever done


[Verse 9]
C                                     G              C
 I'd better quit my talking, 'cause I told you all I know
C                             G
Please remember, pardner, wherever you may go
    C                                   F               C
The world is digging Hitler's grave and when the job is done 
C                                 G            C
That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done
     C              G                               C
Yes, that'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done
