Lindisfarne - Song For A Stranger
CAPO: 2nd Fret
## NOTE: ~ = Bass Walk-Down from  Gto  Em##
[INTRO:]     G       C/G       G       C/G  G  
[VERSE 1:]
I have travelled over C/Gmountains
Over sunsets and over Gsky
I've envisaged things beC/Gfore me
Always tried to keep an open Geye
[VERSE 2:]
As a person I've always C/Glistened
To others with a good tale to Gtell
But you can end up in conC/Gfusion
In a house in heaven or Ghell
[CHORUS:]
N.C.                   Em  Bm  
But who's this guy who befriends me
And Ctells me of all his Gschemes
Is it me now, or am I Amdreaming
DNothing is what it GseemsC  G  
[VERSE 3:]
I have travelled through the C/Gdarkness
Through the gloom and through the Glight
Sailed my boat in stormy C/Gwaters
I keep on searching through the darkest Gnight
[CHORUS:]
N.C.                   Em  Bm  
But who's this guy who befriends me
And Ctells me of all his Gschemes
Is it me now, or am I Amdreaming
DNothing is what it GseemsC  G  
[VERSE 4:]
And I try hard to underC/Gstand it
But I've never come really Gclose
How come the ones who put the C/Gleast in
Always end up with the Gmost
[CHORUS:]
N.C.                   Em  Bm  
But who's this guy who befriends me
And Ctells me of all his Gschemes
Is it me now, or am I Amdreaming
DNothing is what it Gseems
[CHORUS:]
           ~            Em  Bm  
Yet, who's this guy who befriends me
And Ctells me of all his Gschemes
Is it me now, or am I Amdreaming
DNothing is what it Gseems
[CHORUS:]
           ~            Em  Bm  
Yet, who's this guy who befriends me
And Ctells me of all his Gschemes
Is it me now, or am I Amdreaming
DNothing is what it Gseems
[CHORUS:]
           ~            Em  Bm  
Yet, who's this guy who befriends me
And Ctells me of all his Gschemes
Is it me now, or am I Amdreaming
