BIG RED SUN BLUES (Lucinda Williams)
------------------------------------
[Each chord is one measure]
C C G G D D G G
[intro]
C C G G
Everything is going wrong; it's not right anymore
D D G G
We can't seem to get along the way we did before
C C G G
Sun is hanging in the sky, sinking low and so am I
D D G G
Just for the love of someone and a big red sun
C C G G
How'm I gonna lose these big red sun blues
D D G G
Big red sun, big red sun, big red sun blues
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/williams_lucinda/big_red_sun_blues_tab.html ]
True love to hold is worth everything
It's worth more than gold or any diamond ring
But this little diamond and a heart that's been broken
Are all I got from you, big red sun
How'm I gonna lose these big red sun blues
Big red sun, big red sun, big red sun blues
[Instrumental]
Look out at that western sky out over the open plains
God only knows why this is all that remains
But give me one more promise and another kiss
And I guess the deal's still on you big red sun
How'm I gonna lose these big red sun blues
Big red sun, big red sun, big red sun blues
How'm I gonna lose these big red sun blues
Big red sun, big red sun, big red sun blues
C C G G .
