Fairport Convention - Cell song

There's a ^Dtiny little window and the ^Gsun comes shining through ^DDancing with the dust that's in my ^Gcell ^Em There's a ^Dsparrow sitting on the sill and he ^Gstays for a minute or two But he's ^Dfrightened by the ^Gringing of the bell ^A

There's a ^Dbed that I must lie on when at ^Gnight I take my rest And a ^Dchair for me to sit on through the ^Gday ^A The ^Dmen who wait beside me ^Galways know what's best For a ^Dman who doesn't ^Ghave too much to ^Asay

Throw a ^Dlaugh into the corner, blow a ^Gtear against the wall^{A D}Learn a game to play, improve the ^Gmind Con^Dfess your sins, you sinner, and think ^Ghow the seconds fall ^DLeave all earthly ^Gcares and woes behind^A

And ^Dwhen my short affair with life is ^Gended and I'm ^Emgone Will you ^Dtell the world the story of John ^GLee? ^DAll you see is nothing and yet ^Geverything lives on ^DI was born to ^Gpay the hangman's ^Afee
