C G Am
The giant of Illinois
F C G
Died from a blister on his toe

C G Am F
After walking all day through the first winter's snow

C G Am
Throwing bits of stale bread
F C G
To the last speckled doves
C G Am F
He never even felt his shoe full of blood

C G Am F
Delirious with pain, his bedroom walls began to glow
C G Am F
And he felt himself soaring up through falling snow


C G Am
And the sky was a woman's arms
C G C
The sky was a woman's arms

C G Am
A boy with a club foot
F C G
Had sat next to him in school
C G Am F
Once upon a summer's day they went wandering through the woods

C G Am
They spotted a sleeping swan
F C G
On the banks of a muddy stream
C G Am F
And they stormed it with rocks till it collapsed in the reeds

C G Am F
They lay out on a green lawn full of chocolate and lemonade
C G Am F
But under the blue bowl the giant was afraid

C G Am
Because the sky was a woman's arms
C G C
The sky was a woman's arms
