Verse 1
Thank you.
(G major) John Butler has
entered the building.
We all lost you there for a minute,
didn't we?
Yes, isn't that funny?
Follow the gazes.
That's John.
In the middle of the song,
we're just looking out
and everyone's go (B minor) ing...
(G major) It's happened a lot on this
tour.
We were checking at the airport
the other day
and I was talking to the guy
and he was, you know, yes ma 'am,
please put your bags on
and you're a bit overweight.
I mean, the baggage was.
No, and he put the bags through
and then he suddenly went...
And he went to the woman
next to him.
It's John Butler.
And I watched him
and he just sort of forgot about me.
like I'm done
There's your boarding pass miss
and and he just sat there
and he was visibly shaking his boots
and John came
(D major) It's the (G major) next in line. He goes
Can I help you sir?
We'd like to invite John on stage

(D major) So (G major) Vincent Langar (E minor) i,

And (G major) Vincent sat down
(B minor) with those big politicians
(D major) They said, (G major) look mate, (E minor) this affair,
(B minor) it's a matter of state
Let (D major) us (G major) sort it out
(E minor) while your people (B minor) go hungry
(D major) Vincent (G major) said, nuh -uh, (E minor)

Vincent (G major) Langari,
(E minor) he re (B minor) turned in an airplane
Back (D major) (G major) to his country,
(E minor) once (B minor) more to sit down
(D major) He (G major) told his (E minor) people,
let the (B minor) stars keep on turnin'
(D major) We got (G major) friends in the south, (E minor)
in the (B minor) cities and towns (D major)
Eight (G major) years went (E minor) by,
eight (B minor) long years of (D major) waitin'
Till one (G major) day a tall stranger
(E minor) appeared (B minor) in the land
(D major) His (G major) name was Whitlam,
(E minor) and he came (B minor) to great ceremony
(D major) Through (G major) Vincent's fingers,
(E minor) throwing a (B minor) handful of sand
(D major) From (G major) little (E minor) things, (B minor) big (G major) things (D major) grow
From (G major) little (E minor) things, (B minor) big things grow
(D major) From (G major) little (E minor) things, (B minor) big (G major) things grow
(D major) From (G major) little (E minor) things, (B minor) big (G major) things (D major) grow (G major) (E minor) (B minor) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (E minor) (B minor) (G major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (B minor) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (B minor)
(D major) But (G major) this is a story of (E minor) (B minor) Vincent Langar (D major) i
But (G major) this is a story (E minor) of (B minor) something much more
(D major) Our (G major) power and priv (E minor) ilege can
(B minor) not move a people
Who (D major) (G major) know where they stand
(E minor) And (B minor) stand in (G major) their (D major) love
(G major) From little (E minor) things, (B minor) big (G major) things (D major) grow
From (G major) little (E minor) things, (B minor) big thing (G major) s (D major) grow
From (G major) little (E minor) things, (B minor) big things grow
(D major) From (G major) little (E minor) things, (B minor) big thing (G major) s (D major) grow
From (G major) little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow.
From little things, big things grow.
From little things, big things grow.
