C 
sparrow and wolf lay as still as the blades of the grass 
Am                          F                          C 
like worn leather boots, of colour and size that would last 

C 
caught them a lark in a trap, and each held a wing 
          Am            F                             C 
then they tore it apart, before that small bird could sing 

C 
confused by the wind, bruised by the size of the rain 
    Am               F                       C 
she turned in to him, begged for the light to remain 
C 
but plans have been made, all the furniture sold 
    Am                F                              C 
so store up your hate, use it for warmth when you're cold 

 

F 
for I have seen no joy, only danger, 
C 
I see no joy, only strangers, 
G                               F 
I see no joy, see no joy in this world 
F 
should you, choose to go, please be careful of, 
C 
lonesome roads, men who travel them, 
G                                   F 
will not know, will not know of your ways 


F 
oh-oo-oh  
Dm 
oh-oo-oh 
F 
oh-oo-oh 
Dm      F 
oh-oo-oh 
G 

 C Am F  

 

F 
still I have, seen no joy, only dangers, I 
C 
see no joy, only strangers, I 
G                              F  
see no joy, see no joy in this world, 

you should choose to go, please remember what 
C 
you have learned, from the little bird, 
G                              F 
always dear, always dear to my heart
