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

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 .
[Ending]

TAB:

This is severely oversimplified (it's actually played on a slide guitar),
but it should give the right idea for the intro:
