Song: Hard Sun
By:   Eddie Vedder

{ capo fret 1 }

[intro:]  4 x | Gadd9 D | D |  {see video}
 
[verse: 1]
 D
When I walk beside her
  C                  {or use Cadd9  032033}
I am the better man
Gadd9
  When I look to leave her
           D             
I always stagger back again

[verse: 2]
 D
Once I built an ivory tower
     C
so I could worship from above
       Gadd9
When I climb down to be set free
D                    
 She took me in again
 
[chorus:]  {background vocal}
           D
There's a big
           Am
A big hard sun
                    Gadd9
Beating on the big people
                 D
In the big hard world
 
 
[verse: 3]
D
 When she comes to greet me
        C
She is mercy at my feet
Gadd9
 When I see her pin her charm
           D
She just throws it back at me

[verse: 4]
D
Once I dug an early grave
    C
To find a better land
Gadd9
  She just smiled and laughed at me
          D
And took her bruise back again
 
[chorus:]  {background vocals}
           D
There's a big
           Am
A big hard sun
                    Gadd9
Beating on the big people
                 D
In the big hard world

[chorus:]  {background vocals} 
           D
There's a big
           Am
A big hard sun
                    Gadd9
Beating on the big people
                 D
In the big hard world

 D    D    

[verse: 5]
D
When I go to cross that river
         C
She is comfort by my side
Gadd9
  When I try to understand
          D
She just opens up her hands
 
[verse: 6]  {no words}
           D   C   Gadd9   D 

[chorus:]
           D
There's a big
           Am
A big hard sun
                    Gadd9
Beating on the big people
                D
in the big hard world
 
  D   D
 
[verse: 7]
D
Once I stood to lose her
       C
when I saw what I had done
Gadd9
  Bound down and flew away the hours
        D
of her garden and her sun

[verse: 8] 
      D
so I tried to warn her
  C
I turned to see her weep
Gadd9
  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
                    Gadd9
Beating on the big people
                D
in the big hard world
 
[chorus:]  {repeat}

[chorus:]  {repeat}

[chorus:]  {repeat}

[coda:]
           D {let ring}
There's a big
           Am {let ring}
A big hard sun
                    Gadd9 {let ring}
Beating on the big people
                 D  {big end}
in the big hard world
