D5 xx0235
Intro
D5 G5/D x4
Verse 1
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 could worship from above
When I climbed down to be set free she took me in again
Chorus
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
Verse 2
When she comes to greet me she is mercy at my feet
When I see her bitter 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 blues back again
Chorus
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
Interlude
D5 G5/D x2
Verse 3
When I go to cross that river she is comfort by my side
When I try to understand she just opens up her hands
Instrumental
Chorus
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
Interlude
D5 G5/D x2
Verse 4
Once I stood to lose her when I saw what I had done
Bound down and threw 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
Chorus
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
