[Intro]
| F | C | F | % |

[Verse 1]
F
Since I was a child
Bb
I've tried to be what I am not
C F
I've lied and I've enjoyed it all my life
F
I lied to my dear mother
Bb
To my sisters and my brother
C7 F
And now I'm lying to my children and my wife

[Chorus]
F
Big Hat, no cattle
Bb
Big head, no brain
C
Big snake, no rattle
F
I forever remain
F
Big hat, no cattle
Bb G7
I knew from the start
C
Big boat, no paddle
C7 F
Big belly, no heart

[Verse 2]
F
Can't remember why I do it
Bb
Oh, maybe I can
C F
An honest man these days is hard to find
F Bb G7
I only know we're living in an unforgiving land
C7 F
And a little lie can buy some real big peace of mind

[Bridge]
A7 Dm
Often times I have wondered what might I have become
C C7 F
Had I buckled down and really tried
A7
But when it came down to the wire
Dm
I called my family to my side
G7 C
Stood up straight, threw my head back, and I lied, lied, lied

[Chorus]
F#
Big hat, no cattle
B
Big shoes, well you know
C#7
Big horse, no saddle
F#
He goes wherever I go
