Verse: Eb When I walk beside her Db I am the better man Ab When I look to leave her Eb I always stagger back again Eb Once I built an Ivory tower Db so I could worship from above Ab When I climb down to be set free Eb she took me in again Chorus: Eb there's a big Bbm a big hard sun Ab beaten on the big people Eb in the big hard world Verse: Eb When she comes to greet me Db She is mercy at my feet Ab When I see her pin her charm Eb She just throws it back at me Eb Once I dug an early grave Db To find a better land Ab She just smile and laughed at me Eb And took her bruise back again Chorus: Eb there's a big Bbm a big hard sun Ab beaten on the big people Eb in the big hard world Verse: Eb Once I stood to lose her Db when I saw what I had done Ab bound down and flew away the hours Eb of her garden and her sun Eb so I tried to warn her Db I turned to see her weep Ab 40 days and 40 nights Eb and it's still coming down on me Chorus: Eb there's a big Bbm a big hard sun Ab beaten on the big people Eb in the big hard world This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play Hard Sun on ukulele
It runs d u d u. The groove sits around 130 bpm, a brisk pace. You are playing it in Ab major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. For easier shapes, shift it down 1 half-step with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 1 to land back in the same key. Drive steady down-up eighths and dig in through the choruses.

Awesome song. Much easier to transpose it to -1 though. Also, if you want to play along with the recording, just tune your Uke down a half step and play the cords from -1.
Anyone know what strum pattern?
Could you do the whole song please?
