     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
