[Verse 1]
D5
When I walk beside her,
C
I am the better man
G
When I look to leave her,
D5
I always stagger back again
C
Once I built an ivory tower so I could worship from above
G
When I climbed down to be set free,
D5
she took me in again
[Chorus]
D5 Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G
Beating on the big people
D5
Oh, In the big hard world
[Verse 2]
D5 C
When she comes to greet me, she is mercy at my feet,
yeah
G
When I see her bitter charm,
D5
she just throws it back at me
C
Once I dug an early grave to find a better land
G D5
She just smiled and laughed at me and took her blues back
again
[Chorus]
D5 Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G
Beating on the big people
D5
Oh, In the big hard world
Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
G
Beating on the big people
D5 D5
Oh, In the big hard world
[Verse 3]
D5
When I go to cross that river,
C
she is comfort by my side
G
When I try to understand,
D5
she just opens up her hands
[Solo]
D5 C G D5 D5 C G
Ah
D5 D5 Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
[Chorus]
Beating on the big people
G D5
Oh, In the big hard world
D5
Once I
[Verse 4]
D5 C
stood to lose her when I saw what I had done
G D5
Bound down and threw away the hours of her garden and her
sun
So I tried to warn her,
C
I turned to see her weep
G D5
Forty days and forty nights and it's still coming down on
me
D5 Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
[Chorus]
Beating on the big people
