Big City Beat

Big city, big city, big city beat! R-r-raah!

I always dreamed of being in the spotlight
I knew, I'd get there in a matter of time
So, I headed downtown
Headed for the big time
I left the boy that was me behind

Well, it started with a drum
It was [Am7]clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the stɾeet
And it led me to [C7]the big city beat

I always did like [F]the parties
And the fast life
A life of glitter beats a life of crimе
Back where I come from
Lifе ain't worth a thin dime
Scratch your way out or you'll stay and [Bm]die

I was [Am7]born to [C7]hear the drum
It was [Am7]clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the stɾeets
And it led me to [C7]the big city beat

Someone gave that boy a drum
There were hearts to [C7]win and [Bm]fame to [C7]be [Am]won
We knew he could take the heat
And made it in the big city beat

Big city, big city, big city beat! R-r-raah!
Big city, big city, big city beat! R-r-raah!

I left the boy that was [Am7]me behind

Well, it started with a drum
It was [Am7]clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the stɾeet
And it led me to [C7]the big city beat

Someone gave that boy a drum
There were hearts to [C7]win and [Bm]fame to [C7]be [Am]won
We knew he could take the heat
And made it in the big city beat

Well, it started with a drum
It was [Am7]clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the stɾeet
And it led me to [C7]the big city beat
