Stranger to Himself Fairport Convention From "Rising for the Moon" (Capo on IV; the actual chords are B, E and A) Intro: G

He was a st^Granger to himself A s^Gpy in his own camp And his m^Coney was his h^Gealth All th^Frown to dust by his v^Cery own h^Gand

Yet his beauty lingered still Beyond the draining of the sand But greener was the other side of the hill Richer was the other man's land

But we l^Cove^Gd him, l^Coved him just like b^Frothers wo^Guld We l^Cov^Ged him, l^Coved him like no o^Fthers c^Gould ^G And she l^Cove^Gd him, lo^Cved him like a lo^Fver sho^Guld

Take good care of an aching heart You never can replace it You know you're the master of your art You realise that when you think it fit The orbs of blue are jading away No laughter from them dances Yet you're bound to remember this one day Hazards are risks and risks are chances You can run for cover, run for cover like a frightened hare Till it's all over, it's all over and there's no one there 'Cos you daren't discover, daren't discover that we really care
