Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][E]
[E][A][E]

[Verse 1]
I wandered [E]again
to my home in the mountains
Where in youth's early dawn
I was happy and [B]free
I looked for my [E]friends
but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me
[A][E]
Every[B]body I

[Chorus 1]
[E]met
(Everybody I met)
seemed to be a rank stranger
(Seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother or dad
(No mother or dad)
not a friend could I [B]see
(Not a friend could I see)
They knew not my [E]name
(They knew not my name)
and I knew not their faces
(And I knew not their faces)
I found they were all
(I found they were all) rank [B]strangers to [E]me
Rank [A]strangers to [E]me

[Interlude 1]
[E][E]
[E][A][E]

[Verse 2]
They've all moved a[E]way
said the voice of a stranger
To a beautiful home
by the bright crystal [B]sea
Some beautiful [E]day
I'll meet 'em in Heaven
Where no one will be a [B]stranger to [E]me[A][E]

[Chorus 2]
Everybody I [E]met
(Everybody I met)
seemed to be a rank stranger
(Seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother or dad
(No mother or dad)
not a friend could I [B]see
(Not a friend could I see)
They knew not my [E]name
(They knew not my name)
and I knew not their faces
(And I knew not their faces)
I found they were all
(I found they were all) rank [B]strangers to [E]me
Rank [A]strangers to [E]me
