E                    Am      Am/G
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

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
