Intro: [C] [G] [C]

[VERSE 1]

The [C]giant of [G]Illi[C]nois died from a [G]blister on his [Am]toe

After [C]walking all [G]day through the [Am]first winter [F]snow

[C]Throwing [G]bits of stale [C]bread to the la - [G]ast speckled [Am]dove

He [C]never even [G]felt his [Am]shoe full of [F]blood

De[C]lirious with [G]pain his bedroom [Am]walls began to [C]glow

And he [F]felt himself soaring [C]up through falling [Am]snow

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

The [C]sky was a [G]woman's [C]arms

[VERSE 2]

A boy with a clubfoot that sat next to him in school
Once upon a summer's day then went wandering through the woods
They spotted a sleeping swan on the banks of a muddy stream
And they stormed it with rocks till it collapsed in the reeds
They lay out on the green lawn full of chocolate and lemonade
But under the blue bowl the giant was afraid
And the sky was a woman's arms...
