TRIPOD - LITTLE BY LITTLE CHORDS

Tripod & Eddie Perfect cover of a song by Ruby Hunter and Archie Roach, on their album Australian Songs. Super-simple to play - just a G, a C, and a D - but it sounds beautiful.

When ^GI was a baby we had no home And we ^Cweren’t the only family, we were not alone But ^GDaddy built a shelter from the wind and ra^Din ^G Through the years I’ve been building this home Gonna ^Cbuild it solid, gonna build it strong Goin’ t^Go build it myself, I’m^D an independ^Gent man

^GLittle by little and stone by stone Gonna ^Cbuild this building on my own And no^Gbody can say this is mine but ^Dme Well ^Glittle by little and stone by stone Gonna ^Cbuild this building on my own And no^Gbody can say that ^Dthis is mine but ^Gme

When ^GI was a young man, driftin around ^C Here and there from town to town ^G Getting drunk, drinking red, red ^Dwine ^G Then one day I realized When I ^Cmet this girl with big brown eyes ^G Oh I knew she’^Dd be a friend o^Gf mine

So singin now ^Glittle by little, stone by stone Gonna ^Cbuild this building on my own And no^Gbody can say this is mine but ^Dme ^GLittle by little and stone by stone Gonna ^Cbuild this building on my own And no^Gbody can say that ^Dthis is mine but ^Gme

Ain’t nobod^Gy gonn^Da tear this buildin^Gg down Ain’t nobod^Gy gonn^Ca tear this buildin^Dg down It’^Gs built inside of me, wher^Ce nobody else can see Ain’t nobod^Gy gonn^Da tear this buildin^Gg down

Well we ^Ghad some trouble and we had some strife Had to ^Cquit my drinking, had to change my life ^G I had to do it for my fami^Dly When ^GI quit drinking it got harder still But I ^Cknow there’s a way where there’s a will But I ^Gwon’t give up ^Duntil we all ar^Ge free

Little by ^Glittle, stone by ^Cstone Little by ^Glittle, on my ^Down Little by ^Glittle, stone by ^Cstone Little by ^Glittle, on my ^Down

Singing now ^Glittle by little and stone by stone Gonna ^Cbuild this building on my own And no^Gbody can say this is mine but ^Dme ^GLittle by little and stone by stone Gonna ^Cbuild this building on my own And no^Gbody can say that ^Dthis is mine but ^Gme

And no^Gbody can say that ^Dthis is mine but ^Gme
