The Unfaithful Servant
guitar chords lyrics
F#7 E/G# A E/G# B/F# Bm7
Unfaithful Servant, I hear you leavin' soon in the mornin'
A E/G# F#7 B7sus4
What did you do to the lady, that she's gonna have to send you away?
A E/G# B/F# Bm7
Unfaithful servant, you don't have to say you're sorry,
A E/G# F#7 B7sus4
If you done it just for the spite, or did ya do it just for the glory?
C#m/Bb B/G#
Like a stranger you turned your back,
Bm7/F# A G#7
Left your keys and gone to pack.
C#m Am6
Bear in mind who's to blame, and all the shame;
F#7 F#m7 Fmaj7
She really cared, the time she spared and the home you shared.
A E/G# B/F# Bm7
Unfaithful servant, I can hear the whistle blowin,
A E/G# F#7 B7sus4
Yes, that train is a-comin' and soon you'll be goin'.
A E/G# B/F# Bm7
Let us not bow our heads for we won't be complainin';
A E/G# F#7 B7sus4
Life has been good to us all even when that sky is rainin'.
C#m/Bb B/G#
To take it like a grain of salt
Bm7/F# A G#7
is all I can do. It's no one's fault,
C#m Am6
Makes no diff'rence if we fade away.
F#7 F#m7 Fmaj7
It's just as it was, it's much to cold for me to stay.
A E/G#
Goodbye to that country home,
B/F# Bm7
So long to a lady I have known,
A E/G#
Farewell to my other side,
F#7 B7sus4
I'd best just take it in stride.
A E/G# B/F# Bm7
Unfaithful Servant, you'll learn to find your place;
A E/G#
I can see it in your smile,
F#7 B7sus4
and, yes, I can see it in your face.
C#m/Bb B/G#
The mem'ries will linger on,
Bm7/F# A G#7
But the good old days, they're all gone,
C#m Am6
Oh! Lonesome servant, can't you see,
F#7 F#m7 Fmaj7
That we're still one and the same, just you and me.
