Tuning: E A D G B E
This version is in the key of A. I think the version on the record is in A-flat
so if you’d like to stay true to the record either tune down 1/2 step or just
write a flat symbol next to each of these chords and play the corresponding barre chords.
I think A is easier.
[Intro]
A E A D A E
[Verse]
EThis Anever Dwas Aone of the great A7romDances
But I Ethought you'd always have those young girl's Aeyes E
But Anow they Dlook in Atired and A7bitter Dglances
At the Aghost of a man who walksE 'round in my disAguise D A E
I Aget the Dfeeling Athat I don't A7belDong here
But there's no Ewelcome in the window anyAway E
And I Alook down Dfor a Anumber A7on my Dkeychain
'Cause it Afeels more like a hoEtel everyAday D
[Chorus]
A EThere's a Astranger in the house; nobody's Dseen his face
But Eeverybody says he's taken my Aplace E
There's a Astranger in the house no one will Dever see
EEverybody says he looks like Ame D A E
[Verse]
And Anow you Dsay you've Agot no exA7pectDations
But I Eknow you also miss those carefree Adays E
And for Aall the Dangry Awords that A7passed beDtween us
You Astill don't understand Eme when I Asay D
[Chorus]
A EThere's a Astranger in the house; nobody's Dseen his face
But Eeverybody says he's taken my Aplace E
There's a Astranger in the house no one will Dever see
EEverybody says he looks like Ame D A E
EEverybody says he looks like Ame D A
