(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:

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

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PROCOL HARUM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
