Bruce Cockburn - Great Big Love chords
Start Jamming...
[A]
I'm headed for home, got a woman there I can barely wait to hold
Got the wind in [D] my hair, got the heat inside Heart jumping up and down
[A] Got an empty head and a messed up bed I'll be floating just above the ground
Great [F#m] big love, sweeping across [A] the sky Great [F#m] big love, [A] sweeping across the sky
Seen a lot of things in the world outside Some bad but some good stuff too
Felt a touch of love in the works of God And now and then in what people do
[D] Never had a lot of faith in human beings But sometimes we manage to shine
[E] Like a [A] light on a hill beaming out to space From somewhere hard to find
[F#m] Great big love, sweeping [A] across the sky [F#m] Great big love, sweeping [A] across the sky
I
[A]
write and I shoot and I play guitar And I like my life just fine
If you try to take one of these things from me Then you're no friend of mine
Got [D] a woman I love and she loves me And we live on a piece of land
[A] I never know quite how to measure these things But I guess I'm a happy man
[F#m] Great big love, sweeping [A] across the sky Great
[E] [F#m] big love, sweeping [A] across the sky
Great
[E] [F#m] big love, sweeping [A] across the sky
[E] [F#m]
