 THE BIG COUNTRY- The Talking Heads
 C D F  F G (rpt 3 more times)
    C        D     F               F G
 I see the shapes, I remember from maps
   C         D        F              F G
 I see the shoreline, I see the whitecaps
   C          D       F                 F G
 A baseball diamond, nice weather down there
    C        D      F                         F    G
 I see the schools, and the houses where the kids are
   C         D  F                       F   G
 Places to park, by the factories and buildings
  C               D   F                 F   G
 Restaurants and bars for later in the evening
  Am                      G    F                       G
 Then we come to the farmlands and the undeveloped areas
  Am               G      F                    G
 And I have learned how these things work together
   Am               G F                        G
 I see the parkways that passes through them all
  Am              G  F                        G
 And I have learned how to look at these things
 
 CHORUS
            Bb          F                   Eb
 And I say, I wouldn't live there if you paid me
 Bb          F                Eb
 I wouldn't live there, ooh, no siree
 Bb          F                Eb
 I wouldn't do the things the way those people do
 Bb          F                 Eb
 I wouldn't live there if you paid me to
 
 
 I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean
 And I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends
 Look at that kitchen and all of that food
 Look at them eat, I guess it tastes real good
  Am                              G  F                          F  G
 They're growin' in those farmlands, then they bring it to the stores
  Am                            G  F                      F  G
 They put it in their car trunks, then they bring it back home
 CHORUS
 
 I'm tired of looking out the window of the airplane
 I'm tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere
 And it's not even worth talking about those people down there
  Bb              F              Eb
 Do do da da da   Do do da da da Do do
 (keep on doing chorus with various noises)
 (eventually hold the Eb a while and end on Bb)
