Cell Song

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

          D                     
There's a bed that I must lie on 
         G
when at night I take my rest
      D                            
And a chair for me to sit on 
      G       A
through the day

    D                      G
The men who wait beside me always 
know what's best
      D               G           
For a man who doesn't have too 
     A
much to say

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

    D                              
And when my short affair with life 
   G             Em
is ended and I'm gone
         D                         
Will you tell the world the story 
       G
of John Lee?
D                            
All you see is nothing and yet 
  G
everything lives on
D             G                 A
I was born to pay the hangman's fee
