Big Men In The Sky

Mandolin Orange


Tom: D

Intro:     A         Bm         G
  
       D 
Well I wake up in the morning, try to set my hook 
    D                                          D7
I used to be a settled boy, never stumbled or shook 
              G                                         D
But now I've got no hand to hold, no friend to call my own 

       A                           Bm                                   G
And I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky,  but it's all I got 

          D                           
So maybe I'll pick up and go, with no thinkin' through 
D                                             D7                                                  
Just sleep out every night and try to forget you 
     G                                       D
I'd look out on some ocean, wash my head in blue 
        A                           Bm                                   G     
Well I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky,  but it's all I got 

Instrumental Break :  Repeat Verse Chords

        D                                                      
Been a-rockin' and a-rollin', reelin' in my time 
D                                                D7
I set myself up fancy-like, and set a brand new line 
        G                                          D
Well I oughta know by now, it comes and goes it's true 
        A                           Bm                                   G    D
Well I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky,  but it's all I got 

Bm      A          G                  
Mmmmm   Mmmmmmm   Mmmmm   X4

      D          
Well thinkin' ain't no pastime and thinkin' ain't no friend
D                                               D7
If all you do is sit around and think about the end 
      G                                          D
Maybe I will get to prayin' someday before I'm through 
       A                           Bm                                  G     D
But I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky, but it's all I got
