[D]When I walk beside her
[Cadd9]I am the better man
[G]When I look to leave her
I always st[D]agger back again

[D]Once I built an Ivory tower
[Cadd9]so I could worship from above
[G]And when I climbed down to be set free
she [D]took me in again

[D]there's a big
A big hard sun  [Am7]
beaten on the bi[G]g people
in the big hard [D]world
END CHORUS

[D]When she comes to greet me
[Cadd9]She is mercy at my feet
[G]When I stay to pillage her
She just th[D]rows it back at me
[D]Once I dug an early grave
[Cadd9]To find a better land
[G]She just smiled and laughed at me
And took her bl[D]ues back again

[D]When I go to cross that river
[Cadd9]She is comfort by my side
[G]When I try to understand
She just[D] opens up her hands

[D]Once I stood to lose her
[Cadd9]And when I saw what I had done
[G]Burned down and threw away the hours
of her [D]garden and her sun

[D]so I tried to warn her
[Cadd9]And turned to see her weep
[G]40 days and 40 nights
and it's still co[D]ming down on me
