Verse 1:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/procol_harum/milk_of_human_kindness_crd.html ]
	         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:

	guitar solo:

	Ebm               Cb7

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
