Am7 Unfaithful Servant, I hear you leavin' soon in the mornin' G What did you D/F#do to the lady, E7that she's gonna have to sA7sus4end you away? G Unfaithful D/F#servant,A/E you don't have toAm7 say you're sorry, G If you done it justD/F# for the spite,E7 or did ya do it Asus4just for the glory? Bm/G# A/F# Like a stranger you turned your back, Am7/E G F#7 Left your keys and gone to pack. BmBear in mind who's to blame, Gm6and all the shame; E7 She really cared,Em7 the time she sparedEbmaj7 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.
G Goodbye to that counD/F#try home, A/E So long to a lady I have kAm7nown, G Farewell to myD/F# other side, E7 I'd best just A7sus4take it in stride. G Unfaithful D/F#Servant,A/E you'll learn to Am7find your place; G I can see it D/F#in your smile, E7 and, yes, I can see it A7sus4in your face. Bm/G# A/F# The mem'ries will linger on, Am7/E G F#7 But the good old days, they're all gone, Oh! BmLonesome servant,Gm6 can't you see, E7 That we're still oneEm7 and the same, Ebmaj7just you and me.
