Liner Notes

An attempt at #folk-rock on my 8 string baritone #ukulele with #harmonica. I saw someone or another (I can't remember and it doesn't really matter who) who was obviously siding with the bullies (whoever they were in this case) taunting someone by saying "You're taking on Goliath!"

Well. Do you remember who won in that particular story? Keep fighting.

I think this is another one for my "Pound Shop Dylan" routine. It probably doesn't need the chorus repeating again at the end but I was enjoying singing it too much, so there it is.

Lyrics

[Bm][G][D][A]
[Bm][G][D][A]

[Bm]Fighting as the underdog with [A]back against the [D]wall
But the [G]bigger they are the [D]harder they [A]fall
And you [G]wish they'd pick on [Bm]somebody that's [A]closer to their [D]size
[G]Fear and hate in their [A]eyes

[G]Frightened, weary, don't [D]want to con[A]tinue
When the [Bm]bigger they [G]are the [Bm]harder they [A]hit you
You're [G]fighting a Go[Bm]liath and you're [A]desperate to [D]run
But re[G]member it was David who [A]won

It's a [Bm]David-Go[G]liath [D]battle once a[A]gain
But [Bm]Goliath will [G]always [D]go down in the [A]end
Go[G]liath goes [A]down in the [Bm]end
Go[G]liath goes [A]down in the [Bm]end[G][D][A]

[Bm][G][D][A]

[Bm]Who will be the target as they're [A]aiming punches [D]down?
[G]Who's the latest bogeyman they're [D]wanting driven [A]out?
[G]Got to be some[Bm]body else who's [A]there to take the [D]blame
That's [G]how they play their [A]game

[G]Giving out the orders, [D]balances un[A]checked
[Bm]Are you the [G]one who's [Bm]going to be [A]next?
The [G]Philistines will [Bm]taunt and the [A]end is going to [D]come
But re[G]member it was David who [A]won

It's a [Bm]David-Go[G]liath [D]battle once a[A]gain
But [Bm]Goliath will [G]always [D]go down in the [A]end
Go[G]liath goes [A]down in the [Bm]end
Go[G]liath goes [A]down in the [Bm]end[G][D][A]

[Bm][A][D]
[G][D][A]
[G][Bm][A][D]
[G][A]

It's a [Bm]David-Go[G]liath [D]battle once a[A]gain
But [Bm]Goliath will [G]always [D]go down in the [A]end
Go[G]liath goes [A]down in the [Bm]end
Go[G]liath goes [A]down in the [Bm]end[G][D][A]

[Bm][G][D][A]

It's a [Bm]David-Go[G]liath [D]battle once a[A]gain
But [Bm]Goliath will [G]always [D]go down in the [A]end
Go[G]liath goes [A]down in the [Bm]end
Go[G]liath goes [A]down in the [Bm]end[G][D][A]
