Hard Sun - Eddie Vedder  

Tune down 1/2 step 

E	 
When I walk beside her  
D 
I am the better man 
A 
When I look to leave her  
	E 
I always stagger back again 

E 
Once I built an Ivory tower  
D 
so I could worship from above 
A 
When I climb down to be set free  
	E 
she took me in again 

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

E 
When she comes to greet me 
D 
She is mercy at my feet 
A 
When I see her pin her charm 
	E 
She just throws it back at me 

E 
Once I dug an early grave  
D 
To find a better land 
A 
She just smile and laughed at me  
	E 
And took her bruise back again 



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

(Repeat x2) 

E 
Once I stood to lose her 
D 
when I saw what I had done 
A 
bound down and flew away the hours 
	E 
of her garden and her sun 

E 
so I tried to warn her 
D 
I turned to see her weep 
A 
40 days and 40 nights 
	E 
and it's still coming down on me 

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

(Repeat and Fade)
