BIG MEN IN THE SKY – Mandolin Orange
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
Outro: A Bm G - D
