F                
I went for my schooling, and I faced the wall, 
Dm 
"Tommy Burns" said the Teacher, can you hear me at all  
F 
I sweep out the hallways, and I sweep out the grounds,

F 
I once had a songbird, with a broken wing, 
Dm 
I cried and cried, oh it never would sing 
F 
I once had a songbird, the apple of my eye, 
Dm 
I put it in the Killing Jar, Just to watch it die  

F 
I once had a sweetheart, caught her running around, 
Dm 
I hit her with a log chain, and I put her in the ground  
F 
I once had a sweetheart, Oh a pretty little thing,

I knelt in her cold grave, and I took back my ring
