[Verse] 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 climbed down to be set free D She took me in again [Chorus] D There's a big Am A big hard sun G Beatin' on the big people D In the big hard world [Verse] 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 smiled and laughed at me D And took her bruise back again [Chorus] D There's a big Am A big hard sun G Beatin' on the big people D In the big hard world D There's a big Am A big hard sun G Beatin' on the big people D In the big hard world [Verse] D When I go to cross that river C She is comfort by my side G When I try to understand D She just opens up her hands [Chorus] D There's a big Am A big hard sun G Beatin' on the big people D In the big hard world [Verse] D Once I stood to lose her C When I saw what I had done G Bound down and threw 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 [Chorus] D There's a big Am A big hard sun G Beatin' on the big people D In the big hard world D There's a big Am A big hard sun G Beatin' on the big people D In the big hard world
