CAPO: 4th Fret/KEY: F#/PLAY: D I wandered a-[D] gain - to my [A7] home in the [D] mountains Where in youths' early dawn - I was [E] happy and [A7] free [E] [A7] I looked for my [D] friends - but [A7] I never could [D] find them I found they were all - rank [A7] strangers to [D] me. [G] [D]
CHORUS Ever'body I met (ECHO: ever'body I met) Seemed to [G] be a rank [D] stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger) No mother or dad (no mother or dad) ... Not a [E] friend could I [A7] see (not a [E] friend could I [A7] see) They knew not my [D] name (they knew not my name) And I [A7] knew not their [D] faces (and I knew not their faces) I found they were all (I found they were all) Rank [A7] strangers to [D] me (rank [G] strangers to [D] me).
"They've all moved away" - said the voice of a stranger "To a beautiful home - by the bright crystal sea" Some beautiful day - I'll meet 'em in heaven Where no one will be - a stranger to me.
