[Intro]
F C F G
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
F G
No piece of sky
C
For you Jimmy lad
G
They always blame him
F C
They knew Jimmy was bad

His own fault entirely

To die without sound

That's how it is
C
One staring at the ground
[Interlude]
F C F G
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
F G
No piece of sky
C
For you Jimmy lad
G
They always blame him
F C
They knew Jimmy was bad

His own fault entirely
