Biography:
Big Country were a new wave/alternative rock band which formed in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1981. The band consisted of Stuart Adamson (vocals, guitar), Bruce Watson (guitar, vocals), Tony Butler (bass) and Mark Brzezicki (drums). Adamson was a former member of the Scottish punk band The Skids. The band was best known for using the device known as the "e-bow" to alter their guitars to sound like bagpipes. Despite having 15 Top 40 hits in the UK, the band has remained a one hit wonder in the US with their third single "In A Big Country".

[Intro]
Am G F
Am G F
[Verse 1]
Am G
I feel the way the wind blows
F
It tells me where you've been through
Am G
I watch the way the sun sets
F
Until the night's inside you
[Pre Chorus]
Am G Am
Some days I just don't worry
F
I let it pour through me
Am G Am
Some days I need to bury
F
The very depths of me
Am G
So I wait out here to the east of Eden
F
I let salvation be
[Chorus]
C F
I was waiting, I was watching
Am G F
Would it ever be there for me?
C F
When I felt that hope and a lucky card
Am G F Am
Were all I had to walk with me
G F
Had to walk with me
[Verse 2]
Am G
I watch the way the crow flies
F
And though it all seems so easy
Am G
But if I see it in a grey sky
F
Can I be sure about the way it leaves me
[Pre Chorus]
Am G Am
Some days I just don't worry
F
I let it pour through me
Am G Am
Some days I call upon
F
The very depths of me
Am G
So I wait out here to the east of Eden
F
I watch your soul run free
[Chorus]
C F
I was waiting, I was watching
Am G F
Would it ever be there for me?
C F
When I felt that hope and a lucky card
Am G F Am
Were all I had to walk with me
C F
I was waiting, I was watching
Am G F
Would it ever be there for me?
C F
When I felt that hope and a lucky card
Am G F Am
Were all I had to walk with me
[Bridge]
Am
Some days will stay a thousand years
G
Some pass like the flash of a spark
Am F
Who knows where all our days go?
Am
Out here we lie together
G
Outside the thunder gathers
Am F
Why care about the weather
Am G Am G
It always ends in dark
[Verse 3]
Am G
I looked west in search of freedom
F
And I saw slavery
Am G
I looked east in search of answers
F
And I saw misery
[Pre Chorus]
Am G Am
Some days I just don't worry
F
I let it pour through me
Am G Am
Some days I walk into
F
The very depths of me
Am G
So I wait out here to the east of Eden
F Am F
I let my conscience be
[Chorus]
C F
I was waiting, I was watching
Am G F
Would it ever be there for me?
C F
When I felt that hope and a lucky card
Am G F Am
Were all I had to walk with me
