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".

[Verse 1]
Bm A D A
It went so well for you
F#m E
With a place right where you wanted
D E
And the ones to fill it to
Bm A D A
But some blows break the spell
F#m E
That it hits you every day
D E F#m D F#m D
Until you need to hit as well
[Chorus]
F#m Esus4 E A Esus4 E
It's just a shadow of the man you should be
F#m Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E A Esus4 E
That the world will never see
F#m Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E A Esus4 E
Only questions to be filled
F#m D F#m D F#m D
And it feels like hell

[Verse 2]
Bm A D A
It all seemed fine for you
F#m E
Till the struggle of ambition
D E
Turned in violence upon you
Bm A D A
Sometimes a landslide comes
F#m E
If you're hiding in that avalanche
D E F#m D F#m D
You need a place to run
[Chorus]
F#m Esus4 E A Esus4 E
It's just a shadow of the woman you should be

[Bridge]
D Bm E F#m
I know there is no need for what's been done
D Bm E F#m
I know there is enough for everyone
D Bm E F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
D Bm E
And there's never been a hand
[Verse 3]
Bm A D A
Did we ever have it good
F#m E
While we lived in Eldorado
D E
Did we find the gold we should
Bm A D A
If it really was the truth
F#m E
Why are faces filled with anger
D E F#m D F#m D
That should only shine with youth
[Chorus]
F#m Esus4 E A Esus4 E
It's just a shadow of the people we should be
F#m Esus4
Like a garden in the forest

I know there is enough for everyone
D Bm E F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
D Bm E F#m
And there never is a hand outside that cares
D Bm E F#m
Still the promise comes of living fit for all
D Bm E F#m
If we only get our back against the wall
D Bm E F#m
I look at backs that pushed the wall for years
D Bm E F#m
Scarred by many knives and too much fear
[Outro]
