Long Chain On Jimmy Driftwood
[Em]One night as I [Am]lay on my [Em]pillow,
[Am]moonlight as bright as the [Em]dawn,
[Em]I saw a [Am]man come a-[Em]walking,
[Am]He had a long chain [Em]on.
[Em]I heard his [Am]chains a-[Em]clanking,
[Am]They made a mournful [Em]sound,
[Em]Welded aro[Am]und his [Em]body,
[Am]Dragging along the [Em]ground.
Chorus:
[Em]He had a long chain on,
[Em]He had a long chain on,
[Em]He had a long chain [Am]on. [Em]
[Em]He stood [Am]beside my [Em]window,
[Am]He looked at me and he [Em]said,
[Em]"I am so [Am]tired and [Em]hungry,
[Am]Give me a bite of your [Em]bread."
[Em]He didn't [Am]look like a [Em]robber,
[Am]He didn't look like a [Em]theif.
[Em]His voice [Am]was as soft as the [Em]moonlight,
[Am]A face full of sorrow and [Em]grief.
Chorus.
[Em]I went [Am]into my [Em]kitchen,
[Am]Got him a bowl full of [Em]meat,
[Em]A drink and a [Am]pan of cold [Em]biscuits,
[Am]That's what I gave him to [Em]eat.
[Em]Though he was [Am]tired and [Em]hungry,
[Am]A bright light came over his [Em]face.
[Em]He bowed his[Am] head in the [Em]moonlight,
[Am]He said a beautiful [Em]grace.
Chorus.
[Em]I fetched my [Am]hammer and[Em]chisel,
[Am]Offered to set him [Em]free.
[Em]He shook his [Am]head and said [Em]sadly,
[Am]"I guess we had best let it [Em]be."
[Em]When he had [Am]finished his [Em]supper,
[Am]He thanked me again and [Em]again.
[Em]Though it's been[Am] years since I saw [Em]him,
[Am]Still hear him draggin' his [Em]chain.
Chorus.
