D (xx0232@1)                       Am (x02210@1)  
There's a big, a big hard sun
                   G (320003@1)                   DBeatin' (xx0232@1)on the big people in the big hard world
                    
When she comes to greet me, she is mercy at my feet  (when I)
When I stay to pillage her, 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 blues back again

Chorus x 2

And when I go to cross that river she is, comfort by my side
When I try to understand, she just opens up her hands

Violin solo over verse chords

Chorus

Once I stood to lose her, when I saw what I had done
Mmm Burned down and threw away the hours, of her garden and her sun
So I tried to warn her, and turned to see her weep
Mmm 40 days and 40 nights, and it's still coming down on me

Chorus  repeat multiple times and fade
