The Beautiful South - A piece of sky

No piece of ^Fsky ^G For you Jimmy ^Clad ^GThey always blame him ^FThey knew Jimmy was ^Cbad His ^Fown fault entirely To ^Cdie without sound ^GThat's how it is One ^Cstaring at the ground

And he ^Cwears his isolation As a ^Fwidow wears a shroud They ^Ghammered him with discipline ^CScreaming out loud ^CAs they did with Jesus With ^Fhammer and with nails ^GNow the cell is quiet And the ^Cmoonlight is pale

No piece of ^Fsky ^G For you Jimmy ^Clad ^GThey always blame him ^FThey knew Jimmy was ^Cbad His ^Fown fault entirely To ^Cdie without sound ^GThat's how it is One ^Cstaring at the ground

He's ^Cstanding on the bedside chair The ^Fmoonlight fills his cell ^GNo one ever peeked In ^Cjimmy's private hell His ^Conly friend, a makeshift rope His ^Fonly key, his only hope His ^Gneck breaks so easily And he ^Cdoesn't make a sound

No piece of ^Fsky ^G For you Jimmy ^Clad ^GThey always blame him ^FThey knew Jimmy was ^Cbad His ^Fown fault entirely To ^Cdie without sound ^GThat's how it is One ^Cstaring at the ground

His ^Conly friend, a makeshift rope His ^Fonly key, his only hope His ^Gneck breaks so easily And he ^Cdoesn't make a sound

No piece of ^Fsky ^G No piece of ^Csky
