C
I'm weary from this river
F
It flows far but never nearer to my home
G7
And the war's upon the shores
C F
Keep the single girls indoors
Dm G C
And so all my love songs fall on wasted ears
----
C
I grow tired of this highway, it runs far but never my way
F
Don't you know
G7
But the company of strangers
C F
And the close and the present dangers
Dm G C
Seem to pick me up like an old crow in the snow
----
C F G C F Dm G C

F C F
Cuz I'm a stranger in a strange land
F C F
Guess I left the world behind
G D G
And my love is like a galaxy
C B/C Am
It seems slow but it sure does shine
G F C
And when I'm gone you'll know me by the friends I leave behind
----
F G C
----
C
I'm weary of this losin'
F
What choice is there in choosin if you find
G7
Yourself a stranger in a stranger place
C F
With your beat up shoes and an old suitcase
Dm G C
And a wrist watch that don't ever seem to tell the time
----
C
But there's a warm and a gentle feeling, it ain't never worth concealin
F
what you see
G7
and the reins inside my brains
C F
keeps the memories contained
Dm G C
but i miss you like the wind misses the trees

F C F
Cuz I'm a stranger in a strange land
F C F
