[G] [A]
[Bm] [A]
[G] [A]
[D]
The giant [A] of
[Bm] Illinois [A]
[G] died [D] of a blister [A] on his toe
[D] After walking all [A] day through [F#] the first [G] winter snow
[D] Throwing [A] bits of stale [Bm] bread to [B] [G]
the [D] last speckled [A] doe
He [D] never even [A] felt [F#] his shoes fill [G] with blood
[Bm] Delirious with pain, his [F#m] bedroom walls began to glow
And [A] he felt himself floating [Em] up through falling snow
And [G] the sky [A] was a [Bm] woman's arm
The [D] [G] sky [F#m] was [A] a [D] woman's arm
[A] [Bm]
[A] [G]
[D] [A]
[D]
[A] [F#]
[G]
[D] A boy [A] without [Bm] club foot [A]
[G] sat [D] next to him [A] in school
[D] Once upon [A] a summer's day they [F#] went walking through [G] the woods
[D] They spotted [A] a steam [Bm] in the swamp
[A] [G] on the [D]
base of a muddy [A] stream
[D] And they stoned it [A] with rocks [F#] till it collapsed in [G] the reeds
[Bm] They laid out on the grass [F#m] full of chocolate and lemonade
[A] And underneath it all [Em] the giant was afraid
[G]
And the sky [A] was a [Bm] woman's arm
The [A]
[G] sky [A] was a [D] woman's arm
[G] [A] The sky
[Bm] [G] was [A] a woman's [D]
arm
