For [A] three years I fed my mice [G] and they [D] kept [Gbm] winning
Still [D] my favourite mouse was Jane [G] though she was [D] old and skinny
[G] One cold night [A] at reading [Gbm] time I opened her [E] box just in time
[G] To see her lying in [Gbm] the cage, she was [E] dying of [A] old age
[E] I picked her up [B] and wrapped her in [A] a piece of cloth
She was still alive and she looked terrible in it
I said I'm [B] going to have [Abm] a night and fell asleep [Gb] until the light [A] of [Eb] morning filled my [Abm] nursery
And woke me up of [Ebm] misery
[B] _ _ [Em] _
Jane lay [B] in her woolly bed as silent as [Em] a stone
[G] For she had passed away that [A] night now [B] I was all [Em] alone
[Am] _
I ran [B] out into the [Abm] road and cried that [Gb] I was on my [A] own
At last I [B] reached the [Abm] countryside beneath a tree [Gb] I sat and [B] cried and cried
