Verse
D
sparrow and wolf lay as still as the blades of the grass
Bm G
like worn leather boots, of color
D
and size that would last
D
caught them a lark in a trap, and each held a wing
Bm G
then they tore it apart, before
D
that small bird could sing
Bm G D D
oh-oo-oh
D A D
oh-oo-oh

D
confused by the wind, bruised by the size of the rain
Bm G
she turned in to him, begged for
D
the light to remain
D
but plans have been made, all the furniture sold
Bm G
so store up your hate, use it for
D
warmth when you're cold
Chorus
G
for I have seen no joy, only danger,
D
I see no joy, only strangers,
A G
I see no joy; see no joy in this world.
G
should you, choose to go, please be careful of
D
lonesome roads, men who travel them
A
will not know, will not know of
G
your ways.

Chorus
G
still I have, seen no joy, only dangers, I
D
see no joy, only strangers, I
A G
see no joy, see no joy in this world
you should choose to go, please remember what
D
you have learned, from the little bird
A G
always dear, always dear to my heart
