There's a [D]tiny little window and the [G]sun comes shining through
[D]Dancing with the dust that's in my [G]cell [Em]
There's a [D]sparrow sitting on the sill and he [G]stays for a minute or two
But he's [D]frightened by the [G]ringing of the bell [A]
There's a [D]bed that I must lie on when at [G]night I take my rest
And a [D]chair for me to sit on through the [G]day [A]
The [D]men who wait beside me [G]always know what's best
For a [D]man who doesn't [G]have too much to [A]say
Throw a [D]laugh into the corner, blow a [G]tear against the wall[A]
[D]Learn a game to play, improve the [G]mind
Con[D]fess your sins, you sinner, and think [G]how the seconds fall
[D]Leave all earthly [G]cares and woes behind[A]
And [D]when my short affair with life is [G]ended and I'm [Em]gone
Will you [D]tell the world the story of John [G]Lee?
[D]All you see is nothing and yet [G]everything lives on
[D]I was born to [G]pay the hangman's [A]fee
[D]Dancing with the dust that's in my [G]cell [Em]
There's a [D]sparrow sitting on the sill and he [G]stays for a minute or two
But he's [D]frightened by the [G]ringing of the bell [A]
There's a [D]bed that I must lie on when at [G]night I take my rest
And a [D]chair for me to sit on through the [G]day [A]
The [D]men who wait beside me [G]always know what's best
For a [D]man who doesn't [G]have too much to [A]say
Throw a [D]laugh into the corner, blow a [G]tear against the wall[A]
[D]Learn a game to play, improve the [G]mind
Con[D]fess your sins, you sinner, and think [G]how the seconds fall
[D]Leave all earthly [G]cares and woes behind[A]
And [D]when my short affair with life is [G]ended and I'm [Em]gone
Will you [D]tell the world the story of John [G]Lee?
[D]All you see is nothing and yet [G]everything lives on
[D]I was born to [G]pay the hangman's [A]fee
