[G]Moon[Am]light as bright as [Em]the dawn
[G]I s[Em]aw a[G][Em][G][Em]
[G]man [Em]come a -walkin'

[G]They [Am]made a mournin'
[Em]for a song
[G]Weldin' [Am]around [G]his[Em] body,
[G]dra[Am]ggin' alo[B]ng the[Em] ground
[G]He [Em]had a long chain on,

[Em]He had a long chain on[Am][Em][G][Em]
[G][Am][Em][G][Am][G][Am][G][Em][G][Em]
[G]He stood beside my [Em]window
[G]He [Am]looked at me and he[Em] said
[G]I a[Em]m so ti[Am]red a[G]nd hungry,[Em]
[G]give [Am]me a bite of yo[Em]ur bread
He did[G]n't look like a robber,
[Em]he d[G]idn'[Am]t look like a th[Em]ief
[G]His [Em]voice [G]was[Em] as soft

[Em]I went[G] into my k[Em]itche[G]n[Em]
[G]Fetched [Em]him [G]a bo[Am]wl full of[Em] meat
[G]A d[Em]rink and a pan of cold b[G]iscuits,
[Am]that's what I gave [Em]him to eat.
[G]Though he was tired and hun[Em]gry,
[G]a bri[Am]ght light came over his[Em] face.
[G]He [Em]bowed[G] h[Em]is[G]
head in the moonlight
[Am]He said a beautifu[Em]l gr[G]ace
But he had a [Em]long [G]chain [Em]on
[C]He [Em]had a[G] lon[Em]g chai[G]n on[Em][G][Em]
[G]He [Em]had a long chain [Am]on[G][Em][G]
[Am][Em][G][Am][G][Am][C][G]
I've got my [G]hammer and chisel
[Am]All thought [Am]to set hi[Em]m fre[G]e
[Em]He l[G]ooked at me and [G]said softly,
[Em]I gu[G]ess we had[Am] best let it [Em]be
[G]When he had finished [G]his supper,
he thanked me again and again
[G]Though it's been years since I saw him
[G]Still hear him draggin' his [G]chain
He had a long chain on
[C]He [G]had a long chain on
He had a long [Am]chain
[Am][G][Am][G][C]
[G]He had a long chain on,
He had a long chain on,
He [Em]had a long chin on.
