Introdução:
D G
There's a tiny little window and the sun comes shining through
D G Em
Dancing with the dust that's in my cell
D G
There's a sparrow sitting on the sill and he stays for a minute or two
D G A
But he's frightened by the ringing of the bell
D G
There's a bed that I must lie on when at night I take my rest
D G A
And a chair for me to sit on through the day
D G
The men who wait beside me always know what's best
D G A
For a man who doesn't have too much to say
D G A
Throw a laugh into the corner, blow a tear against the wall
D G
Learn a game to play, improve the mind
D G
Confess your sins, you sinner, and think how the seconds fall
D G A
Leave all earthly cares and woes behind
D G Em

D G
Will you tell the world the story of John Lee?
D G
All you see is nothing and yet everything lives on
D G A
I was born to pay the hangman's fee
