[G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ giant [A] of _ _ _
[Bm] Illinois _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[G] _ _ died [D] of a blister _ [A] on his toe _ _ _ _ _
[D] After walking [A] all day _ [F#] through the first [G] winter snow _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
Throwing [A] bits of stale [Bm] bread _ to _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
the [D] _ last speckled [A] dove _
He _ _ _ [D] _ never even _ [A] felt his [F#] _
shoes filled [G] with blood _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ Delirious with pain, his [F#m] bedroom walls began to glow
_ He [A] felt himself floating _ _ [Em] up through falling snow
When the [G] sky _ [A] was a _ _ [Bm] woman's arm _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] without _ _
[Bm] clubfoot _ _ _ _ _ [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 _ steaming [Bm] swamp _ on _ _ [A] _ [G] _ the [D] _
base of a muddy [A] stream _ _
_ _ _ [D] And astounded _ [A] with _ rocks [F#] that had collapsed in [G] the wreath
They _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] laid out on the grass [F#m] full of chocolate and lemonade _ _
[A] And underneath it _ all [Em] the giant was afraid
_ [G]
When the sky _ [A] was a _ _ [Bm] woman's arm
_ _ _ _ [A] _
[G] _ Sky [A] was a _ _ [D] woman's arm _ _ _ _ _
