What Trouble Are Giants?

Joshua 1:9, First Samuel 17:31-51

      C
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.
