Big Shot

This is definitely not 100% accurate but it should help!

Links to where the song was learnt from:

1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfFHv7CplXc

2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SalqwHJwg6c&feature=related

If you see a G7 in the chorus then that can be played as an F5 as seen in the 
first link when Drake Bell plays guitar in the chorus.

Corrections would be really helpful and appreciated!

The chords in brackets are optional - I play them just to make the song sound more 
interesting but I don't think they do that in the original.

This will be updated when the studio version comes out when I can get a more 
accurate tab out of the song.

G**

Verse:
G5                                  (F#5)
Single room in a cheap part of town
G5
And the elevators broken down
  (B5)C5
So I walk up the stairs
         C5
No one cares about the rent
                          (A5)G5
When your playing the bill as me
                                      (F#5)
Dirty dishes got a stain on my shirt
G5
I eat alone and I'm outta of work
    (B5) C5
Tell me what did you think?
C5
I'm the same, haven't change
                                Em
Just been going by a different name

Pre-chorus:
         B7
What a waste
          G            N/C
But I'm coming back to say

Chorus:
      G*              G7          (B5) C
I'm no big shot, big town, big money
              C
Off to buy a jet 
                            (A5) G*
Fly it all around the country
                   G7
Sometimes when the weather's right
(B5)C                       (Cm)
I sail it to the ocean stay overnight
     G*
Well I went for broke
     G7
The last time we spoke
       C                       N/C
Now I'm coming back here to say
                        G*  G7  C
Everything is going my way
                             G* G7 C
Well everything is going my way

Verse:
G5                                (F#5)
I grab the bus from the damp hotel
G5
I grab things and I'm ready to sell
    (B5)   C5             (B5)      
That I'll want out of time
C5
All the things that I loved
                           (A5)  G5
All the memories that use to be mine
                                         (F#5)
They're gone, yeah, I've thrown them away
G5                                (B5)C5
They're gone, and I'm gonna mess up today
                           Em
Will you ask another day?
