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