D (xx0232@1)                        GThere's (320003@1)a tiny little window and the sun comes shining through
D (xx0232@1)                                G (320003@1)     EmDancing (022000@1)with the dust that's in my cell
          D (xx0232@1)                                GThere's (320003@1)a sparrow sitting on the sill and he stays for a minute or two
         D (xx0232@1)               G (320003@1)                   ABut (x02220@1)he's frightened by the ringing of the bell

D (xx0232@1)                            G (320003@1)             
There's a bed that I must lie on when at night I take my rest
      D (xx0232@1)                                G (320003@1)     AAnd (x02220@1)a chair for me to sit on through the day
    D (xx0232@1)                    GThe (320003@1)men who wait beside me always know what's best
      D (xx0232@1)             G (320003@1)              A (x02220@1)                 
For a man who doesn't have too much to say

D (xx0232@1)                               GLearn (320003@1)a game to play, improve the mind
   D (xx0232@1)                                   GConfess (320003@1)your sins, you sinner, and think how the seconds fall
D (xx0232@1)               G (320003@1)                  ALeave (x02220@1)all earthly cares and woes behind

D (xx0232@1)                               G (320003@1)           EmAnd (022000@1)when my short affair with life is ended and I'm gone
         D (xx0232@1)                              G (320003@1)
