The Band — The Unfaithful Servant (ver 2) Chords
A E B Bm7
Unfaithful Servant, I hear you leavin' soon in the mornin'
A E F# B
What did you do to the lady, that she's gonna have to send you away?
A E B Bm7
Unfaithful servant, you don't have to say you're sorry,
A E F# B
If you done it just for the spite, or did ya do it just for the glory?
C#m B
Like a stranger you turned your back,
Bm A G#
Left your keys and gone to pack.
C#m Am
Bear in mind who's to blame, and all the shame;
F# F#m7 F
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.
A E
Goodbye to that country home,
B Bm7
So long to a lady I have known,
A E
Farewell to my other side,
F# B
I'd best just take it in stride.
A E B Bm7
Unfaithful Servant, you'll learn to find your place;
A E
I can see it in your smile,
F# B
and, yes, I can see it in your face.
C#m B
The mem'ries will linger on,
Bm A G#
But the good old days, they're all gone,
C#m Am
Oh! Lonesome servant, can't you see,
F# F#m F
That we're still one and the same, just you and me.
