Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Stranger I know where you'll find her
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Down the road from here about a mile and a quarter
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You'll know the place by a shackey barn
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
That stands in the field by a run-down farm
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
By a pond, filled up with stagnant water
Transitional Chords
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Then you'll see a shack nearby
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
You'll ask yourself I wonder why
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It looks so cold and lifeless all around
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Chimney rocks are fallin' out
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
It looks as though the fire's gone out
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And the biggest part of the house is rotted down
Transitional Chords
ch]G[/ch
Though Stranger…
ch]D[/ch
I ain't seen her lately
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
She don't come around here like she used to
ch]G[/ch
You've got her pictured in your mind
ch]G[/ch
Pretty, gentle, sweet and kind
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You've practiced every word you're gonna say
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You'll call her name but she won't hear you
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
She's in the graveyard near you
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
She died ten years ago, last May
Transitional Chords
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
There was a man she talked about
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
A man she had to live without
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Years ago he just turned and left one day
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He left her with an unborn child
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And a love for him that never died
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And an aching heart that sent her to an early grave
Transitional Chords
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Yes, Stranger I know who you are
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I recognized you from afar
ch]G[/ch
But you ain't never seen me
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Not one time
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Yes, I know that you're my dad
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
From pictures that my Momma had
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And it was me and Momma that you left behind
Transitional Chords
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Stranger you will find her there
ch]D[/ch
In a peaceful sleep on yonder hill
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Where we once walked as I do still
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
To pick her flowers from the field
Transitional Chords
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Momma don't need you anymore
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And I don't need you like before
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
You can go on back to where you went before…
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You're just a stranger
