Intro :E (alternance entre accords et cordes à vide)
EI came upon a butcher
He wAas slaughtering a lamb
EI accused him there
With his B7tortured lamb
He said, "LEisten to me, child
AI am what I am
EAnd you, yB7ou are my only son."A E
EWell, I found a silver needle
I puAt it into my arm
EIt did some good
Did someB7 harm
But the nigEhts were cold
AAnd it almost kept me warm
EHow come B7the night is long ?A E
EI saw some flowers growing up
WherAe that lamb fell down
EWas I supposed to praise my Lord
Make somB7e kind of joyful sound ?
He said, "LEisten, listen to me now
AI go round and round
EAnd you, B7you are my only chilAd." E
EDo not leave me now
Do nAot leave me now
EI'm broken down
From a reB7cent fall
Blood upon Emy body
AAnd ice upon my soul
ELead on, B7my son, it is your woArld E
