We were visited last evening
F Esus4 E
By a servant of the day
E Am Am/G
He had travelled miles on horseback
D G
To scout his master's way
F Esus4 E
And he only had a moment
F G F E
To warm his frozen hands
E Am Am/G
And though he needed food and rest
F Esus4 E Esus4 E
He told us of his land
[Instrumental]
F G C/G C x3 F E

And all too soon
Am Am/G
He had to leave
F Esus4 E
Else sleep might block his way
E Am Am/G
And so he thanked us both, and saddled up
D G
And softly rode away
F Esus4 E
And I caught a glimpse of sun in his eye
F G F E
And wheatfield in his smile
E Am Am/G
And I couldn't help but a-thinking
F Esus4 E Esus4 E
They would follow in a while
