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 And when my short affair with life is ended and I'm gone 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
