From the recording Gypsy Wagon Man
Lyrics
Big Fat Love (capo 2nd fret in A) A harp
G Em Am D
We’ve left the noisy party. I’m with my sister on the backyard swing.
Laughing about that Boy Scout trip when I got all those bee stings.
I tease her for the hundredth time about that park slide in the snow.
Sad goodbyes and wedding. Where does all that time go?
C D G Em
Snowflakes start to drift down from a winter sky above
C D C D
These memories all come together to make (a)
Chorus
G Em Am- D
Big Fat Love, big fat love.
Big fat love, big fat love.
C
G Em Am D
It waddles in with a big fat grin, we’ve got (a)
G Em Am-D
Big fat love.
Hawks circle overhead. I’m camping with the gang.
There’s a story we remember for every song we sang.
Like the little farms that disappear or the Flood of Twenty Sixteen.
Fishing Porta Johns from the River’s not as easy as it seems.
Big drops start to fall from a stormy sky above.
These memories all come together to make (a)
Chorus
Do you remember our first date? Just a beer run that won’t take long.
Our friends thought we’d gotten lost. I guess in a way, they weren’t wrong.
You pulled off to put air in a tire, in your shorts and halter top.
A warm breeze in your long hair, Lord I thought my heart would stop.
I pointed out the shooting stars in a moonless sky above.
These memories all come together to make (a)
Chorus
** (Darling, you’re the perfect size in my eyes, but we’ve got a)
Big fat love (vamp 4x)
