Introducción:
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 FE
To warm his frozen hands
E Am Am/G
And though he needed food and rest
F E FE
He told us of his land
Instrumental
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 FE
And wheatfield in his smile
E Am Am/G
And I couldn't help but a-thinking
F E FE
They would follow in a while
