A Piece Of Sky

F C F G


[Chorus]

            F   G
No piece of sky
              C
For you Jimmy lad
G
They always blame him
F                   C
They knew Jimmy was bad
    F
His own fault entirely
   C
To die without sound
G
That's how it is
    C
One staring at the ground


[Verse 1]

       C
And he wears his isolation
     F
As a widow wears a shroud
     G
They hammered him with discipline
C
Screaming out loud
C
As they did with Jesus
     F
With hammer and with nails
G
Now the cell is quiet
        C
And the moonlight is pale


[Chorus]

            F   G
No piece of sky
              C
For you Jimmy lad
G
They always blame him
F                   C
They knew Jimmy was bad
    F
His own fault entirely
   C
To die without sound
G
That's how it is
    C
One staring at the ground


[Interlude]

F C F G


[Verse 2]

     C
He's standing on the bedside chair
    F
The moonlight fills his cell
G
No one ever peeked
   C
In jimmy's private hell
    C
His only friend, a makeshift rope
    F
His only key, his only hope
    G
His neck breaks so easily
       C
And he doesn't make a sound


[Chorus]

            F   G
No piece of sky
              C
For you Jimmy lad
G
They always blame him
F                   C
They knew Jimmy was bad
    F
His own fault entirely
   C
To die without sound
G
That's how it is
    C
One staring at the ground


[Interlude]

F C F G


[Verse 3]

    C
His only friend, a makeshift rope
    F
His only key, his only hope
    G
His neck breaks so easily
       C
And he doesn't make a sound


[Outro]

            F    G
No piece of sky
            C
No piece of sky
