The Beautiful South – A Piece Of Sky (Guitar)

            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

       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

            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

     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

            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

    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

            F    G
No piece of sky

            C
No piece of sky
