 D                         C                
 When I walk beside her, I am the better man
 G                                 D                  
 When I look to leave her, I always stagger back again
 D                                        C                
 Once I built an ivory tower, so I could worship from above
            G                         D                    
 And when I climb down to be set free, she took me in again
 
 Chorus:
 D                         Am 
 There's a big, a big hard sun
                    G                     D     
 Beatin' 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
