Song: Billy Overcame His Size Tab


C         
Billy never made the football team,  
                        G7 
'Cause Billy's size was small. 
 
But Billy's brother was a mighty lad, 
                                C 
And played a lot of high school ball. 
 
And Billy's daddy never favoured him, 
   C7                    F 
He catered to the bigger guys, 
                   C 
But later on, in a bigger way, 
G7                 C 
Billy overcame his size. 
 
 
    C 
The years flew by, and Billy grew, 
                      G7 
But he never got very big. 
 
We called him shorty but he never got mad, 
                         C 
He was always good for a dig. 
 
And we payed no mind when he fell in line, 
    C7                  F                     
And left with the other guys. 
                                C 
And the sergeant laughed at his skinny frame, 
    G7                 C 
But Billy overcame his size. 
 
 
F              
Billy overcame his size, 
      C                  Am 
Yeah, Billy overcame his size. 
C              G7 
Later on, in a bigger way, 
                   C 
Billy overcame his size. 
 
 
C 
Billy's brother made a football star, 
                       G7 
And the biggest man in town. 
 
And the scholarship that kept him home 
                          C 
Never seemed to bring him down. 
 
But on the other hand his brother Bill, 
    C7                   F 
Put pride in his Daddy's eyes. 
                           C 
When he died to save those other men, 
G7                 C 
Billy overcame his size. 
 
 
F 
Billy overcame his size, 
      C                  Am 
Yeah, Billy overcame his size. 
                           G7 
When he died to save those other men, 
                   C 
Billy overcame his size.
