[A] [D] The [A] Giant of [D] Illinois died [A] from a blister [Bm] on his toe
[D] After [A] walking all day [F#m] through the first [G] winter snow
[D] [A] Throwing bits of [D] stale bread to the [A]
last [Bm] speckled egg
[D] He never [A] even felt his shoe [G] full of blood
[B] Delirious [Bm] with pain his [F#m] bedroom walls began to glow
[A] Then he felt himself soaring [Em]
up through falling snow
[G] And the sky [A] was a [Bm] woman's arms
The [G] sky [A] was a [D] woman's arms
A boy [A] with a [D] club foot had sat [A] next to [B] him in school
[Bm] [D] Once [A] upon a summer's day [F#] they went wandering through [G] the woods

And [D] they stormed it [A] with rocks till it [F#m] collapsed [G] in the reed
