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 climb down to be set free
	D#
she took me in again

Chorus:
D# 	
there's a big
		A#m
a big hard sun
		G#
beaten 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 smile and laughed at me
	D#
And took her bruise back again

Chorus:
D# 	
there's a big
		A#m
a big hard sun
		G#
beaten 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 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

Chorus:
D# 	
there's a big
		A#m
a big hard sun
		G#
beaten on the big people
		D#
in the big hard world
