The Great Historical Bum Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I'm just a lonesome traveler,
the [F]great historical [C]bum
Highly educated, from [F]history I have [C]come
I built the Rock of Ages,
it [F]was in the year of [C]one
That's about the biggest thing
that [G]man has [C]ever done
I worked in the Garden of Eden,
it [F]was the year of [C]two
I joined the apple picker's union,
I [F]always paid my [C]dues
I'm the man that signed the contract
to [F]raise the rising [C]sun
That's about the biggest thing
that [G]man has [C]ever done
I was straw boss on the pyramids
and the [F]Tower of Babel [C]too
I opened up the ocean,
let the [F]migrant children through
[C]I fought a million battles
and I [F]never lost the [C]one
And that's about the biggest thing
that [G]man has [C]ever done
I was a hoplite and a phalanx
that [F]fought the Persians [C]back
Heavily outnumbered,
we [F]weathered the at[C]tack
I ran all the way from Marathon
with the [F]news that we had [C]won
And that's about the biggest thing
that [G]man has [C]ever done
I built the Coliseum
where the [F]gladiators fought
[C]Raced chariots in the circus
and I [F]built the aque[C]ducts
I paved the roads of empire
that [F]all led straight to [C]Rome
That's about the biggest thing
that [G]man has [C]ever done
I'm just a lonesome traveler,
the [F]great historical [C]bum
Highly educated, from [F]history I have [C]come
I built the seven wonders,
was [F]in the year of [C]one
That's about the biggest thing
that [G]man has [C]ever done
Yeah, that's about the biggest thing
that [G]man has [C]ever done
