Verse 1:

Ebm

When you knew that I had given

Cb7

All the kindness that I had

Ebm           F#       C#     Ebm

Did you think that it might be time to stop

Ebm

When you knew that I was through

Cb7

That I'd done all I could do

Ebm             F#       C#   Ebm

Did you really have to milk the final drop

Chorus [last half notated in sharp keys to avoid double-flats, e.g. Cb7/Bbb]:

F#            F#7/Bb

Not content with my mistake

Cb                C#

You behaved just like a snake

F#          F#7/Bb           Cb     C#

And left me for a wasp without a sting

B        Ebm/Bb                      B7/A

Tell all [1: my friends 2: the folks] back home

E    G#m/Eb              C#m

That [1: I 2: he] did it on [1: my 2: his] own

F#                 F#7/E               B    F7  Bb7

And that to their well-worn cares they should cling

Verse 2:

When you knew that I had given All the kindness that I had Did you feel you had to break that lonely vow

When you knew that I was through That I'd done all I could do Did you really have to sow that final plow
