Artist: Fairport Convention

     D MajorD             G+G
There's a tiny little window and the sun comes shining through
D MajorD                 G+G    E minorEm
Dancing with the dust that's in my cell
     D MajorD                 G+G
There's a sparrow sitting on the sill and he stays for a minute or two
     D MajorD         G+G           A augmentedA
But he's frightened by the ringing of the bell

     D MajorD               G+G
There's a bed that I must lie on when at night I take my rest
   D MajorD                 G+G    A augmentedA
And a chair for me to sit on through the day
  D MajorD           G+G
The men who wait beside me always know what's best
   D MajorD        G+G        A augmentedA
For a man who doesn't have too much to say

    D MajorD               G+G          A augmentedA
Throw a laugh into the corner, blow a tear against the wall
D MajorD                 G+G
Learn a game to play, improve the mind
  D MajorD                   G+G
Confess your sins, you sinner, and think how the seconds fall
D MajorD         G+G          A augmentedA
Leave all earthly cares and woes behind

  D MajorD                 G+G       E minorEm
And when my short affair with life is ended and I'm gone
     D MajorD                G+G
Will you tell the world the story of John Lee?
D MajorD               G+G
All you see is nothing and yet everything lives on
D MajorD       G+G         A augmentedA
