Am Am 

VERSE 
Am      C          D9     Am 
Hey, big man, come down from there 

    Am         C                D9           Am 
You know, with your hands, what you can do from there 

  Am        C            D9      Am   
I know that you loved one time long ago 

         Am             C               D9         Am 
And what happened to you then made your heart turn to stone 



              Am          C 
And there's a rain coming down 

       D9  F 
To the valley below 

      Am        C        D9        D9 
And I know just how they feel 

      Am             C 
Cause when the water rises 

     D9             F 
They start to look for high ground 

Am        C       D9    Am 
Just like me when you come around 


VERSE 
Hey, big man, big wind, don't blow 
Don't come search for me I beg of you both 


Chorus 
'Cause there's a rain coming down 
To the valley below 
And I know just how they feel 
Cause when the water rises 
They start to look for high ground 
Just like me when you come around 


BRIDGE 
C    D9        Am         
  All you have to do 

C    D9           Am 
  Is think of me and you 

C               D9    Am 
  And all these things enter my dreams 

    C              D9          D9 
And warn, yes they warn me 


Chorus 
That there's a rain coming down 
To the valley below 
And I know just how they feel 
Cause when the water rises 
They start to look for high ground 
Just like me when you come around
