Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun (Ver3) Chords & Tabs

The posted tabs may be the right chords, but these sound a lot closer to the way it's actually played to me. The important difference is the correct capo to get the high notes you can hear in the song

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

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

A	
there's a big
	    Em
A big hard sun
		D
beatin' on the big people
		A
in the big hard world

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

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


A	
there's a big
           Em
A big hard sun
		  D
beatin' on the big people
		A
in the big hard world

(Repeat x2)

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

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

A	
there's a big
	   Em
A big hard sun
		  D
beatin' on the big people
		A
in the big hard world
