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
