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 concealing

        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
