(when you)

Verse 1:

Ebm

When you knew that I had given

Cb7

All the kindness that I had

Ebm Gb Db 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 Gb Db 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]:

Gb Gb7/Bb

Not content with my mistake

Cb Db

You behaved just like a snake

Gb Gb7/Bb Cb Db

And left me for a wasp without a sting

B D#m/A# B7/A

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

E G#m/D# 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

Instrumental break:

guitar solo:

Ebm Cb7

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

[repeat chorus]

[repeat instrumental break]

Coda:

jam on Ebm to fade
