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 bruise back again


D      
there's a big
            Am
A big hard sun
            G
beaten on the big people
            D
in the big hard world

(Repeat x2)


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
