 D              C               G
Big Sky looked down on all the people
looking up at The Big Sky
F            C            G
Everybody's pushing one another around
 D             C                     G
Big Sky feels sad when he sees the children
scream and cry
F         C                     G
But Big Sky's too big to let it get him down

D C G
Big Sky's too big to cry
D C G
Big Sky's too high to see
D C G                 D C G F
People like you and me

A#  Gm   D#      A#
One day we'll be free
 D#       A#   D#       A#
We won't care just you see
A#    Gm   D#     A#        D#
Till that day can be don't let it get you down
     D#                  A#
And when I see that the world's too much for me
   D#                               A#
I think of The Big Sky and nothing matters
much to me

Big Sky looked down on all the people
who think they got problems
They get depressed and they hold their
heads in their hands and they cry
People lift up their hands and they
look up to the Big Sky
But the Big Sky is too big to sympathise

Big Sky's too occupied
Though he would like to try
And he feels bad inside
Big Sky's too big to cry

Chorus:
One day we'll be free
We won't care, just you wait and see
'Til that day can be
Don't let it get you down
