The Unfaithful Servant Lyrics

The Unfaithful Servant

E7 d/f# g	   d/f#  a/e		 am7
Unfaithful servant, I hear you leavin’ soon in the mornin’
G	   d/f	   e7 		    asus4
What did you do to the lady, that she’s gonna have to send you away? 
G	   d/f#  a/e	    am7
Unfaithful servant, you don’t have to say you’re sorry,
G		    d/f#	   e7	    asus4
If you done it just for the spite, or did ya do it just for the glory? 
Bm/g		  a/f#
Like a stranger you turned your back,
C/g		 g	  f#7
Left your keys and gone to pack.
Bm/g			  a/f#
Bear in mind who’s to blame, and all the shame;
E7		  em7 		ebmaj7
She really cared, the time she spared and the home you shared.

Unfaithful servant, I can hear the whistle blowin,
Yes, that train is a-comin’ and soon you’ll be goin’.
Let us not bow our heads for we won’t be complainin’;
Life has been good to us all
Even when that sky is rainin’.
To take it like a grain of salt
Is all I can do. it’s no one’s fault,
Makes no diff’rence if we fade away.
It’s just as it was, it’s much to cold for me to stay.

D		   bm
Goodbye to that country home,
D 	  a		bm
So long to a lady I have known,
D		  bm
Farewell to my other side,
E7		asus4
I’d best just take it in stride.
G	  d/f#  a/e 	   am7
Unfaithful servant, you’ll learn to find your place;
G	   d/f#
I can see it in your smile,
E7		   asus4
And, yes, I can see it in your face.
Bm/g#	    a/f#
The mem’ries will linger on,
C/g			    a    f#7
But the good old days, they’re all gone,
Bm/g#	   a/f#
Oh! lonesome servant, can’t you see,
E7		   em7	   ebmaj7
That we’re still one and the same, just you and me.
