Dm
Am
One night as I lay on my pillow,
Dm
Am
moonlight as bright as the dawn,
I saw a man a -walkin',
Dm
Am
he had a long chain on.
I heard his chain a -clankin',
Dm
Am
it made a mournful sound
Welded around his body,
Dm
Am
draggin' along on the ground
He had a long chain on,
he had a long chain on
Dm
C
Am
He had a long chain on
He stood beside my window,
Dm
Am
he looked at me and he said,
I am so tired and hungry,
Dm
Am
give me a bite of your bread.
He didn't look like a robber,
Dm
Am
he didn't look like a thief,
His voice was as soft as the moonlight
Dm
Am
His face full of sorrow and grief
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
Dm
Am
Dm
C
Am
He had a long chain on
I went into my kitchen,
Dm
Am
got him a bowl full of meat
A drink and a pan of cold biscuits,
Dm
Am
that's what I gave him to eat
Though he was tired and hungry,
Dm
Am
a bright light came over his face
He bowed his head in the moonlight,
Dm
Am
he said a beautiful grace
He had a long chain on, he had a long chain on,
C
Am
Dm
Am
he had a long chain on
I fetched my hammer and chisel,
Dm
Am
Offered to set him free.
He shook his head and said sadly,
Dm
Am
I guess we had best let it be.
When he had finished his supper,
Dm
Am
He thanked me again and again.
Oh, it's been years since I saw him I
Dm
Am
still hear him draggin' his chain
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
Am
