So it's about slavery [E] of the mind [N] and manifestations of the spirit.
You [A] see?
I couldn't have thought that up.
[D] [A] [Am]
One night as I lay on my pillow moonlight as bright as the dawn
[A] I [D] saw a man [A] a-walkin' [D]
he had a [E] long chain on
I [D] heard his chain a-clankin' it made a [G] mournful [A] sound
It's welded [D]
around [Am] his body [D] dragging [A] it along on the ground
[E] [Am] He had a long chain on
He [D] had a long chain on
[A] He had a long chain on
[E]
[A]
[A] He stood beside my window [D] he looked [A] at me and he said
I [D] am so tired [A] and hungry [D] give me a bite of [Am] your bread
He [D] didn't look like [A] a robber [D] he didn't look [A] like a thief
His [D] voice was soft [Am] as the moonlight [D] his face [A] was a [Am] sorrow and grief
He had a long chain on
[A] He had a [Am] long chain on
He had a [A] long chain on
[D]
[Am]
[D] [A] [E]
[A] I went to my kitchen got him a bowl full of meat
I drank out a pan of gold biscuits that's what I gave him to eat
Lord he was tired and hungry a bright light came [Bm] over [A] his face
He bowed his head in moonlight he said a [Am] beautiful day
[A]
He had a [Am] long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain [D] on
[A]
[D] [A] [D]
[A]
I picked my hammer and chisel I burnt to set him free
He shook his head and said sadly yes we in France let it be
[D] When he had finished [A] his supper [D] he thanked me [A] again and again
Though it's [D] been years since [A] I saw him
No I still hear him [Bm] dragging his chain
He had a long chain on
He [A] had a long chain [Am] on
He [A]
had a long chain [A] on
