Billy Joel - Last of the Big Time Spenders: chords

G       F/A   G/B      C      Gm/E
Well if money makes a rich man
F       F7                   A#  F/A
Then I might never make the grade
G7         F/A       G/B C   Gm/E
I'll be a small time operator
F     F7                    A#  F/A
If I just get the landlord paid
G7      F/A       G/B  C    Gm/E
But if time is an indication
F       F7                  A# F/A
Of the wealth that I never knew
G7            F/A        G/B        C     Gm/E
Then I'm the last of the big time spenders
F                  F7              A#
'Cause I've been spending time on you
D          G
Woo oo oo woo

Chorus:
G C/E D                          G C/E D
       It takes time to appreciate
D                                       G Dm C
Lord knows that you can learn to hate it
C            G/B                   Am7 G C/E D
I believe, 'cause I've been there too
D                           G  C/E
When it gets down to desperation
D                            G  Dm  C
You make the best of the situation
C         G/B                A7
I can tell, I've seen it thru
G/D D7  G
Oh  oh  oh

Though it seems like the day is wasted
And the nights have been overdue

Chorus

It's been so long since we got together
In between it seems to take forever
But I'm a dreamer, I'll be there soon
It takes time to appreciate
All of those that you can learn to hate
I believe, I've seen it through

You can call me the Great Pretender
And in a way it might be true

Chorus
