D5      
When I walk beside her 
C5
I am the better man
G5
When I look to leave her 
      D5
I always stagger back again


D5
Once I built an Ivory tower 
C5
so I could worship from above
G5
When I climb down to be set free 
      D5
she took me in again


D5      
there's a big
            A5
A big hard sun
            G5
beaten on the big people
            D5
in the big hard world


D5
When she comes to greet me
C5
She is mercy at my feet
G5
When I see her pin her charm
      D5
She just throws it back at me


D5
Once I dug an early grave 
C5
To find a better land
G5
She just smile and laughed at me 
      D5
And took her bruise back again


D5      
there's a big
            A5
A big hard sun
            G5
beaten on the big people
            D5
in the big hard world

(Repeat x2)


D5
Once I stood to lose her
C5
when I saw what I had done
G5
bound down and flew away the hours
      D5
of her garden and her sun


D5
so I tried to warn her
C5
I turned to see her weep
G5
40 days and 40 nights
      D5
and it's still coming down on me


D5      
there's a big
            A5
A big hard sun
            G5
beaten on the big people
            D5
in the big hard world

(Repeat and Fade)
