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

There’s 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
