  			Verse 
E                    Am      Am/G 
We were visited last evening 
F                   E 
By a servant of the day 
E                         Am        Am/G 
He had travelled miles on horseback 
F                     E 
To scout his master's way 
F                 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                 E     F E 
He told us of his land

E 
And all too soon 
   Am     Am/G 
He had to leave 
F                          E 
Else sleep might block his way 
E                              Am      Am/G 
And so he thanked us both, and saddled up 
    F           E 
And softly rode away 
      F                   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                     E       F E 
They would follow in a while
