[C#m] They made a [G#m] mournful sound, welded around his body,
[C#m] dragging [G#m] along the ground.
He had a long chain on.

He stood beside my window.
[C#m] He looked at me [G#m] and he said,
I [C#m] am so [G#m] tired and hungry.
[C#m] Give me a bite [G#m] of your bread.
He [C#m] didn't look [G#m] like a robber.
[C#m] He didn't look [G#m] like a thief.
His voice [C#m] was as soft [G#m] as the moonlight, [C#m] but faithful of [G#m] sorrow and grief.
He had a long chain on.

[G#m]
I went into my kitchen,
[C#m] fetched him a bowl [G#m] full of meat,
a drink and a pan of cold biscuits.
[C#m] That's what I gave [G#m] him to eat.
Though he [C#m] was tired [G#m] and hungry,
[C#m] a bright light came [G#m] over his face.
He [C#m] bowed his [G#m] head in the moonlight.
[C#m] He said a [G#m] beautiful grace.
He had a long chain on.
He had a long chain on.
I got [C#m] my hammer [G#m] and chisel,
[C#m] offered to set [G#m] him free.
He looked [C#m] at me and [D#m] said softly, [C#m] I guess we had best let [G#m] it be.
When he had finished his supper, [C#m] he thanked me again and again.
Though it's [G#m] been years since I've seen him, still hear him dragging his chain.
He had a long chain on.
