Emmylou Harris - Stranger song

It^D's true that all the me^Gn you kn^Dew were dea^Alers Who ^Asussaid they were ^Athrough with ^Edealing Every time you gave them s^F#mhelter I ^Eknow that kind of man It's hard to ^F#mhold the hand of anyone Who is ^Ereaching for the sky just to ^F#msurrender, Who is ^Ereaching for the sky just to ^F#msurren^Ede^Esusr. ^{F#m D}And sweeping up the ^Gjokers ^Dthat he ^Aleft behind You ^Asusfind he ^Adid not ^Eleave you very much Not even ^F#mlaughter ^ELike any dealer he was watching ^F#mfor the card That is so high and ^Ewild He'll never need to deal ^F#manother ^EHe was just some Joseph looking for a ^F#mmanger He was ^Ejust some Joseph looking for a ^F#mmanger^{E Esus F#m} And then ^Dleaning on your ^Gwindow ^Dsill ^AHe'll say one day you ^Asuscaused his ^Awill ^ETo weaken with your love and warmth and ^F#mshelter ^EAnd taking from his wallet An old ^F#mschedule of trains, he'll say ^EI told you when I came I was a s^F#mtranger I ^Etold you when I came I was a ^F#mstrange^Er ^{Esus F#m} But ^Dnow another s^Gtranger s^Deems To ^Awant you to ^Asusignore his ^Adreams As ^Ethough they were the burden of some ^F#mother ^EO you've seen that man before His golden ^F#marm dispatching cards But now it's ^Erusted from the elbows to the ^F#mfinger And he ^Ewants to trade the game he plays for ^F#mshelter Yes he ^Ewants to trade the game he knows for ^F#mshelt^Eer^Esus. ^F#m I ^Dhate to watch a^Gnother ^Dtired ^Aman Lay^Asus down his ^Ahand E F#n Like he was giving up the holy game of poker And ^Ewhile he talks his dreams to sleep You ^F#mnotice there's a highway That is ^Ecurling up like smoke above his ^F#mshoulder. It is ^Ecurling just like smoke above his s^F#mhoulder. You ^Dtell him to ^Gcome in ^Dsit down ^ABut something ^Asusmakes ^Ayou turn a^Eround The ^Edoor is open you can't close your ^F#mshelter You try the ^Ehandle of the road It ^F#mopens do not be afraid It's ^Eyou my love, you who are the ^F#mstranger It's ^Eyou my love, you who are the ^F#mstrange^Er. ^{Esus F#m D}Well, I've been waiting, ^GI was ^Dsure We'd ^Ameet between the ^Asustrains we're ^Awaiting for ^EI think it's time to board ^F#manother Please ^Eunderstand, I never had a ^F#msecret chart To get me to the ^Eheart of this Or any other ^F#mmatter When he ^Etalks like this You don't know what he's ^F#mafter When he ^Espeaks like this, You don't care what he's ^F#mafte^Er.^{Esus F#m D}Let's meet tomorrow i^Gf you ^Dchoose ^AUpon the shore, ^Asusbeneath ^Athe bridge ^Ethat they are building on some endless r^F#miver Then he ^Eleaves the platform For the sleeping ^F#mcar that's warm You realize, he's ^Eonly advertising one more ^F#mshelter And it ^Ecomes to you, he never was a ^F#mstranger And you ^Esay ok the bridge or someplace l^F#mater.^{E Esus F#m} And then ^Dsweeping up the ^Gjokers ^Dthat he ^Aleft behind You ^Asusfind ^Ahe did not l^Eeave you very much Not even ^F#mlaughter ^ELike any dealer he was watching ^F#mfor the card That is so high and ^Ewild He'll never need to deal ^F#manother ^EHe was just some Joseph looking for a ^F#mmanger He was ^Ejust some Joseph looking for a ^F#mmanger^{E Esus F#m}
