D
When I walk beside her
C
I am the better man
G
When I look to leave her
D
I always stagger back again
D
Once I built an Ivory tower
C
so I could worship from above
G
When I climbed down to be set free
D
She took me in again
[Chorus]
D
There's a big
Am
A big hard sun
G
Beatin' on the big people
D
In the big hard world
[Verse]
D
When she comes to greet me
C
She is mercy at my feet
G
When I see her pin her charm
D
She just throws it back at me
D
Once I dug an early grave
C
To find a better land
G
She just smiled and laughed at me
D
And took her bruise back again
[Chorus]
D
There's a big
Am
A big hard sun
G
Beatin' on the big people
D
In the big hard world
D
There's a big
Am
A big hard sun
G
Beatin' on the big people
D
In the big hard world
[Verse]
D
When I go to cross that river
C
She is comfort by my side
G
When I try to understand
D
She just opens up her hands
[Chorus]
D
There's a big
Am
A big hard sun
G
Beatin' on the big people
D
In the big hard world
[Verse]
D
Once I stood to lose her
C
When I saw what I had done
G
Bound down and threw away the hours
D
Of her garden and her sun
D
So I tried to warn her
C
I turned to see her weep
G
40 days and 40 nights
D
And it's still coming down on me
[Chorus]
D
There's a big
Am
A big hard sun
G
Beatin' on the big people
D
In the big hard world
D
There's a big
Am
A big hard sun
G
Beatin' on the big people
D
In the big hard world
