Stranger In A Strange Land

• G

Intro: G  C 

     

    C 
I'm weary from this river 

                                      F 
It flows far but never nearer to my home 

                         G7 
And the war's upon the shores 

         C               F 
Keep the single girls indoors 

       Dm                G                C 
And so all my love songs fall on wasted ears 

     

       C 
I grow tired of this highway, it runs far but never my way 

            F 
Don't you know 

                      G7 
But the company of strangers 

        C                      F 
And the close and the present dangers 

        Dm                 G                C 
Seem to pick me up like an old crow in the snow 

     

C F  G  C  F  Dm  G   C 

     

          F        C       F 
Cuz I'm a stranger in a strange land 

        F        C        F 
Guess I left the world behind 

       G        D     G 
And my love is like a galaxy 

         C                B/C  Am 
It seems slow but it sure does shine 

    G                                   F                  C 
And when I'm gone you'll know me by the friends I leave behind 

     

F  G   C 

     

    C 
I'm weary of this losin' 

                                        F 
What choice is there in choosin if you find 

                         G7 
Yourself a stranger in a stranger place 

          C                     F 
With your beat up shoes and an old suitcase 

      Dm                     G                      C 
And a wrist watch that don't ever seem to tell the time 

     

              C 
But there's a warm and a gentle feeling, it ain't never worth concealin 

        F 
what you see 

                         G7 
and the reins inside my brains 

          C              F 
keeps the memories contained 

      Dm                 G                C 
but i miss you like the wind misses the trees 

     

          F        C       F 
Cuz I'm a stranger in a strange land 

        F        C        F 
Guess I left the world behind 

       G        D     G 
And my love is like a galaxy 

         C                B/C  Am 
It seems slow but it sure does shine 

    G                                   F                  C 
And when I'm gone you'll know me by the friends I leave behind 
     

F  C  F   
F  C  F    
G  D  G   
C   B/C Am
     

    G                                   F                  C 
And when I'm gone you'll know me by the friends I leave behind
