Cell Song

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 I was born to pay the hangman's fee
