Sit Down Young Stranger

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm standin' at the doorway
My [C]head bowed in my [G]hands
Not [C]knowin' where to [G]sit
Not knowin' where I [D]stand

[Verse 2]
My [G]father looms above me
For [C]him there is no [G]rest
My [C]mothers arms en[G]fold me
And hold me to her [D]breast

[Verse 3]
They [G]say you been out wanderin'
They [C]say you travelled [G]far
Sit [C]down young [G]stranger
And tell us who you [D]are

[Verse 4]
The [G]room has all gone misty
My [C]thoughts are all in [G]spin
Sit [C]down young [G]stranger
And tell us where you been

[Verse 5]
Well, [G]I've been up to the mountain
I've [C]walked down by the [G]sea
I [C]never questioned [G]no one
And no one questioned [D]me

[Verse 6]
My [G]love was given freely
And [C]of times was returned
[G]I nev[C]er came to bor[G]row
I only came to [D]learn

[Verse 7]
Some[G]times it did get lonely
But it [C]taught me how to [G]cry
And [C]laughter came too [G]easy
For life to pass me [D]by

[Verse 8]
I [G]never had a dollar
That I [C]didn't earn with [G]pride
'Cause I [C]had a million [G]daydreams
To keep me satisfied
[D][G][C][G]

[Verse 9]
[G]And wil[A]l you gather daydreams
Or [D]will you gather [A]wealth
How [D]can you find your [A]fortune
When you cannot find your[E]self?

[Verse 10]
My [A]mothers eyes grow misty
There's a [D]tremblin' in her [A]hand
Sit [D]down young [A]stranger
I do not under[E]stand

[Verse 11]
And [A]will you try and tell us
You've [D]been too long at [A]school
That [D]knowledge is not [A]needed
That power does not [E]rule

[Verse 12]
That [A]war is not the answer
That [D]young men should not [A]die
Sit [D]down young [A]stranger
I wait [E]for your reply

[Verse 13]
The [A]answer is not easy
For [D]souls are not re[A]born
To [D]wear the crown of [A]peace
You must wear the crown of [E]thorns

[Verse 14]
If [A]Jesus, had a reason
I'm [D]sure He would not [A]tell
They [D]treated Him so [A]badly
How could He wish them [E]well

[Verse 15]
The [A]parlor now is empty
There's [D]nothin' left to [A]say
My [D]father has de[A]parted
My mothers gone to [E]pray

[Verse 16]
There's [A]rockets in the meadows
And [D]ships out on the [A]sea
The [D]an swers in the [A]forest
Are carved upon a [E]tree

[Verse 17]
[D]John loves [A]Mary
Does [E]anyone love [A]me?
