A Stranger In Town

A    A9    A    A9  A  AM7        A7
Just ar - rived on the sev - en - ten,

 D6         Dalt       Dmalt      Dm6  Bm7-5
Thought I'd see the old gang a - gain,

 A       A9   A       C#m7 C#m7-5 F#7
But you know how they come  and   go --

D6           F7     E7      D  E7
I'm just a strang - er in town.


A    A9    A     A9   A    AM7   A7
Ev'- ry - where, ev'- ry - one I see

D6      Dalt         Dmalt   Dm6  Bm7-5
Seems to won - der who I can be;

A       A9   A      C#m7 C#m7-5 F#7
And I swear, no one seems  to  care

D9       Fdim             A
About a strang - er   in town.



Bridge 1:

AM7     C#m7          G#7   A7    F#7
I saw a cottage on a lonely old street,

    C#m7      C#m7-5            F#7
The weeds have grown 'round the gate;

AM7       C#m7                G#7         A7 F#7
Somehow I felt that you would wait here, my sweet;

        D6       Bm7-5     E7
But it looks like I'm too late.


 A    A9    A    A9  A   AM7          A7
Guess I'll leave on the twelve - oh - two,

D6         Dalt             Dmalt      Dm6   Bm7-5
Can't be - lieve that there's no more you;

           A    A9  A  AM7/9      C#m7-5     F#7
Is there noth - ing for me?  Will I al - ways be

  D9       D6     E7 E7/6   A
A stranger in my own home town.



Bridge 2:

AM7     C#m7             G#7      A7 F#7
I asked around by no one knew you by name;

  C#m7        C#m7-5   F#7
I wonder where you are now?

AM7       C#m7                  G#7  A7       F#7
I always hoped that things would be just the same,

               D6     Bm7-5    E7
And that you'd wait for me somehow.


  A   A9    A    A9  A    AM7         A7
Guess I'll leave on the twelve - oh - two

D6       Dalt           Dmalt      Dm6   Bm7-5
Now that you have found some - one new;

          A     A9  A  AM7/9      C#m7-5     F#7
Is there noth - ing for me?  Will I al - ways be

   D9         D6    E7 C#m7-5 F#7
A strang - er in my own home town?


Coda:

    D6            Bm7-5     AM7             F#7
It hurts to be a - lone with no one of your own

               D6        Bm7-5   E7/6 Fdim AM7
When you're a strang - er in your own home town.
