I'm gonna tell you a story 

That you've probably heard 
                           F 
And at the risk of being redundant 
                                                C 
I'm gonna tell you somethin' that may not thrill you 

But it could not hurt 
           G 
Well it comes out of the sacred 
   
                     F 
writings of the Israelites 
            C 
It's the story of David 

And how he slew Goliath 

Well now the king of his country 

He didn't trust him too much 
                F 
And so to David's alarm 

He tried to fit him in his armour 
             C 
But the thing was so heavy 

David couldn't stand up 
         G 
So he left it by the river 
                             F 
Where he gathered five smooth stones 
                 C 
I guess it's safe to say he figured 

He wasn't going out alone 

He's not alone 

(Chorus) 
          F 
What trouble are giants 
           C 
What's wrong with being small 
       F 
The bigger they come 
                      C 
You know the harder they fall 
                    F 
When you're fighting for Zion 

And you're on the Lord's side 
           G 
Well, I think you're gonna find 
                                  C 
They ain't no trouble at all 


Now there must have been some laughter 

Among the Philistines 
                            F 
At the sight of this scrawny little shepherd 

Coming out to meet the record 
               C 
Breaking mammoth of a man 

Who was a killing machine 
          G 
But it didn't shake David 
                       F 
'Cause he was smart enough to know 
                             C 
It's more the size of who you put your faith in 

Than the size of your foe 

Whoa, whoa 

Repeat Chorus 2x's and ad lib out.
