A Piece of Sky

No piece of sky for you Jimmy lad
 G                          G7                                      C     
They always blame him, they knew Jimmy was bad
      F                               C  
His own fault entirely to die without sound
   G                            C
That's how it is one staring at the ground

         C/Bb                                F         
And he wears his isolation as a widow wears a shroud
          G                                           C
They hammered him with discipline screaming out loud
  C/Bb                                   F
As they did with Jesus with hammer and with nails
       G                                  C
Now the cell is quit and the moonlight is pale


No piece of sky for you Jimmy lad
They always blame him, they knew Jimmy was bad
His own fault entirely to die without sound
That's how it is one staring at the ground

He's standing on the beside chair the moonlight fills his cell
No one ever peeked in Jimmy's private hell
His only friend, a makeshift rope his only key, his only hope
His neck breaks so easily and he doesn't make a sound

No piece of sky for you Jimmy lad
They always blame him, they knew Jimmy was bad
His own fault entirely to die without sound
That's how it is one staring at the ground

His only friend, a makeshift rope his only key, his only hope
His neck breaks so easily and he doesn't make a sound
No piece of sky, no piece of sky
