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 climb down to be set free
        D
She took me in again

D
There's a big
                Am
A big hard sun
                G
Beaten on the big people
                D
In the big hard world

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 smile and laughed at me
        D
And took her rules back again

D
There's a big
                Am
A big hard sun
                G
Beaten on the big people
                D
In the big hard world

( D )

D
When I go across that river
C
She is comfort by my side
G
When I try to understand
       D
She just opens up her hands

D
There's a big
              Am
A big hard sun
              G
Beating on the big people
              D
In a big hard world

D
Once I stood to lose her
C
When I saw what I had done
G
Bound down and flew 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

D
There's a big
                Am
A big hard sun
                G
Beaten on the big people
                D
In the big hard world
