Verse 1
(D major) John Lee, your headache's growing,
the (G major) cold wind's blowing
But the (G minor) sea's without a ripple (A major)
(D major) John Lee, your forehead's damp,
your (G major) muscles cramp
And the sea (G minor) can't use a (A major) cripple
(Chorus) (B flat major)

(E minor) Oh, (A major) John (D major) Lee
John Lee's been made a freeman,
his (G major) heart's a seaman
But his (G minor) flesh won't make a sail (A major) or
(D major) Working in a big hotel,
(G major) waiting for the bell
That's ringing for (G minor) his labour (A major)
(B flat major) (Chorus)
John (F sharp minor) (G major) (E minor) (A major) Lee, (B flat major)

(D minor) "It hasn't been a (C major) very good day,
the (B flat major) missus wants to halve (A major) my pay
(D minor) Close the door and (C major) douse the light,
it's (B flat major) quiet at night when she's (A major) tucked in tight
(D minor) Sometimes I feel, when they're (C major) all in bed,
it's (B flat major) al most like the (A major) whole world's dead
(D major) So I lay (D minor) me down (C major) to sleep,
I (B flat major) pray thee Lord my soul to (A major) keep"
