Hard Sun - Eddie Vedder (Capo 1)
G5/D xx0033
D5 xx0235
[Intro]
G5/D
D5 G5/D x4
[Verse 1]
D C
When I walk beside her I am the better man
G D
When I look to leave her I always stagger back again
D C
Once I built an ivory tower so I could worship from above
G D
When I climbed down to be set free she took me in again
[Chorus]
D Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
[Verse 2]
D C
When she comes to greet me she is mercy at my feet
G D
When I see her bitter charm she just throws it back at me
D C
Once I dug an early grave to find a better land
G D
She just smiled and laughed at me and took her blues back again
[Chorus]
D Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
D Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
G D G5/D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
[Interlude]
D5 G5/D x2
[Verse 3]
D C
When I go to cross that river she is comfort by my side
G D G5/D
When I try to understand she just opens up her hands
[Instrumental]
D G5/D C G D G5/D
D G5/D C G D
[Chorus]
G5/D D Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G D G5/D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
[Interlude]
D5 G5/D x2
[Verse 4]
D C
Once I stood to lose her when I saw what I had done
G D
Bound down and threw away the hours of her garden and her sun
D C
So I tried to warn her, I turned to see her weep
G D
40 days and 40 nights and it's still coming down on me
[Chorus]
D Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
D Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
D Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
D Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
D Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
D Am
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
D Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
D Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world
D Am
There's a big, a big hard sun
G D
Beatin' on the big people in the big hard world

Very good tab. There most certainly IS a capo on fret 1 (why on earth would you say that?), and the intro chords are a Dsus4 with a hammer on between the 3rd and 5th fret on the high E string.
E|-3-3-3-3h5-5--5-|
B|-3-3-3-3---3--3-|
G|-2-2-2-2---2--2-|
D|-0-0-0-0---0--0-|

After the second chorus you eft out a whole verse.....
when I go to cross that river
she is comfort by my side
when I try to understand
she just opens up her eyes
