 D
 When I walk beside her
 Cadd9
 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
 Cadd9
 so I could worship from above
 G
 When I climb down to be set free
 D
she took me in again

 D
 there's a big
 Am7
A big hard sun   
 G
beaten on the big people
 D
in the big hard world

 D
 When she comes to greet me
 Cadd9
 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
 Cadd9
 To find a better land
 G
 She just smile and laughed at me
 D
And took her bruise back again

 D
 there's a big
 Am7
A big hard sun   
 G
beaten on the big people
 D
in the big hard world

(Repeat x2)

 D
 Once I stood to lose her
 Cadd9
 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
 Cadd9
 I turned to see her weep
 G
 40 days and 40 nights
 D
and it's still coming down on me

 D
 there's a big
 Am7
A big hard sun   
 G
beaten on the big people
 D
in the big hard world

(Repeat and Fade)

  there is a capo used at either the first or second fret, depending on your tuning. If you tune down a 1/2 step put capo at 2nd fret, if standard tuning, place capo at first fret. AWESOME SONG by the way!! Thanks for tabbing it out.
