Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
When I walk beside her
I am the better man
When I look to leave her
I always stagger back again
Once I built an ivory tower
So I can worship from above
When I climb down to be set free
She took me in again
Theres a big,
a big hard sun
Beatin on the big people
In the big hard world
When she comes down to greet me
She is mercy at my feet
When I see her pin her charm
She just throws it back at me
Once I dug an early grave
to find a better land
She just Smiled and laughed at me
and took her bruise back again
There's a big
A big hard sun
Beaten on the big people
In the big hard world
2x
Once I stood to lose her
When I saw what I had done
Bound down and flew away the hours
Of her garden and her sun
So I tried to warn her
I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
And it's still coming down on me
There's a big
A big hard sun
Beaten on the big people
(hammer on E string with baby finger)
In the big hard world
