(originally by Indio)
(from "Into The Wild" soundtrack)

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
G/D D5
 
 
[Verse 1]
D5                          C
  When I walk beside her, I am the better man
G                                  D5
 When I look to leave her, I always  stagger back again
                                      C
Once I built an ivory tower so I could worship from above
      G                            D5
When I climbed down to be set free,  she took me in again
 
 
[Chorus]
              D5          Am
There's a big,  a big hard  sun
                      G
Beating on the big people
                   D5
Oh, In the big hard  world
 
 
[Verse 2]
D5                                  C
  When she comes to greet me, she is mercy at my feet, yeah
G                                     D5
 When I see her bitter charm, she just  throws it back at me
                                 C
Once I dug an early grave to find a better land
G                                               D5
 She just smiled and laughed at me and took her blues back again
 
 
[Chorus]
              D5          Am
There's a big,  a big hard  sun
                      G
Beating on the big people
                   D5
Oh, In the big hard  world
                             Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard  sun
                      G
Beating on the big people
                   D5     D5
Oh, In the big hard  world
 
 
[Verse 3]
D5                                     C
  When I go to cross that river, she is comfort by my side
G                                  D5
 When I try to understand, she just  opens up her hands
 
 
[Solo]
C  G D5 D5 Am G
 Ah
         D5       D5          Am
There's a  big, a big hard sun
 
 
[Chorus]
Beating on the big people
G                        D5
Oh, In the big hard world
      D5
Once I
 
 
[Verse 4]
D5                                 C
  stood to lose her when I saw what I had done
          G                                      D5
Bound down and threw away the hours of her garden  and her sun
                                    C
So I tried to warn her, I turned to see her weep
     G                                        D5
Forty days and forty nights and it's still coming down on me
                 D5          Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
 
 
[Chorus]
Beating on the big people
G                        D5
Oh, In the big hard world
                                 Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
G                        D5
Oh, In the big hard world
                                 Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
G                        D5
Oh, In the big hard world
                                 Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
G                        D5
Oh, In the big hard world
                 D5          Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
 
 
[Outro]
Beating on the big people
G                    D5
In the big hard world
                                 Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
G                    D5
In the big hard world
                             Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
G                    D5
In the big hard world
                             Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
G                    D5
In the big hard world
                             Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
G                    D5
In the big hard world
