Verse 1:

	         Ebm (xx4342@1)When you knew that I had given
	        Cb7
	All the kindness that I had
	         Ebm (xx4342@1)         Gb (244322@1)     Db (x43121@1)   Ebm (xx4342@1)Did you think that it might be time to stop
	         Ebm (xx4342@1)When you knew that I was through
	         Cb7
	That I'd done all I could do
	        Ebm (xx4342@1)           Gb (244322@1)     Db (x43121@1) Ebm (xx4342@1)Did you really have to milk the final drop

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

	        Gb (244322@1)          Gb7/Bb
	Not content with my mistake
	       Cb (x2444x@1)              Db (x43121@1)You behaved just like asnake (x02210@1)	     Gb (244322@1)        Gb7/Bb           Cb (x2444x@1)   Db (x43121@1)And left me for awasp (x02210@1)without asting (x02210@1)	      B (x2444x@1)      D#m/A#                      B7/A
	Tell all [1: my friends 2: the folks] back home
	                  E (022100@1)  G#m/D#              C#m (x13321@4)That [1: I 2: he] did it on [1: my 2: his] own
	         F# (244322@1)               F#7/E               B (x2444x@1)  F7 (131241@1)Bb7 (x13131@1)And that to their well-worn cares they should cling

Verse 2:

	When you knew that I had given

	Did you really have to sow that final plow
