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.
