Stranger Strange Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Some go high and [G]very low
None too different or the same you know
[C]I know 'cos I've seen
them come and go
[G]

[Verse 2]
When summer comes the valley hums
With medicine trucks on [C]the sidewalks
Laid out those hands could
be holy
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]
Stranger, [D]stranger, hard
earned [G]familiar
I've got no [C]jokes
And you hit me up for more than
Just my [D]shrapnel and smokes

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 4]
Some go high and [G]very low
None too different or the same you [C]know
I know 'cos I've seen them
come an[G]d go

[Verse 5]
[C]
Stranger, stranger[D], stranger
Should be listening
[G]Like a river to the[C] end of
my curdled song
Nobody [D]knows what madness
could come along
[G]

[Verse 6]
Now if [C]you see a being borne into a [D]trap,
you free [Em]it
They [C]know kindness when they see it
Stranger, [D]strange would it come if you

[Interlude 2]
could call it?
[G][C][D][G][C]
[D][G][C][D][Em][C]
[D]

[Verse 7]
[G]Some go high and very low
None too different or the same you know
[C]I know 'cos I've seen
[G]the[C]m com[G]e and go

[Verse 8]
[G]
It's quiet now,
the streets are silent
[C]When music out of the arms of community flies,
[G]flies

[Verse 9]
[C]
Stranger, stranger[D], I knew I knew [G]you
Now the bug lights [C]in the bank imbue you
With eyes like decals and a
[D]voice like an iron file
[G]

[Verse 10]
[C]Stranger, strange,
though the [D]earth be [Em]an anvil
I'm not waiting [C]for the hammer to fall
I'm not waiting for [D]anything at all
[G]

[Verse 11]
[C]Stranger, strange,
though the [D]earth be an [Em]anvil
I'm not [C]waiting for the hammer to fall
I'm not waiting for [D]anything at all

[Outro 1]
[G]
