Am
Come  in, sir, for you are weary,

Am                        C
And the night is cold out there.

C                         Dm
Though our lives are very humble,

        E                Am
What we have, we have to share.

Am
There is wine here to revive you.

Am                         C
There is bread to make you strong.

C                          Dm 
There's a bed to rest till morning.

          E                  C#m
Rest from pain and rest from wrong.

C#m
He let me eat my fill, I had the lion's share.

C#m/E
The silver in my hand cost twice what I had earned

F#m
In all those nineteen years, that lifetime of despair.

G#                 Dm
And yet he trusted me.

Dm
The old fool trusted me, he'd done his bit of good.

Dm/F
I played the grateful serf and thanked him, like I should.

Gm
But when the house was still, I got up in the night,

A                       D5     F5/D 
Took the silver took my flight!

Em 
Tell his reverence your story 

       Em/D
Let us see if he's impressed.

         Em/C#
You were lodging here last night 

             Esus2/C B       Em
You were the honest bishop's guest.

Em
And then, out of Christian goodness,

        Em/D
When he learned about your plight,

        Em/C#          Esus2/C         B
You maintain he made a present of this silver.   [BISHOP] That is

Em
right.

N.C.  D                  G
But my friend you left so early,

       F                      C
surely something slipped your mind.

       D                G
You forgot I gave these also,

          F              B
would you leave the best behind?

Em
So Messieurs, you may release him,

         Em/D
For this man has spoken true.

     Em/C#             Em/C
I commend you for your duty,

          Esus2/B  B       E
Now God's blessing go with you

Am
But remember this, my brother. 

Am                      C
See in this some higher plan.

C                          Dm
You must use this precious silver

     E              Am
To become an honest man.

Am
By the witness of the martyrs,

Am                     C
By the Passion and the Blood.

C                         Dm
God had raised you out of darkness, 

       E                    A
I have bought your soul for God.
