Rank Stranger

G                                     C                 G
I wondered again, to my home in the mountains
                                                                D         
where you surely know I was happy and free
                        G                  C                G
I looked for my friends, but I never could find 'em
                                          D       G     C    G
I found they were all rank strangers to me


(chorus)                                     
everybody I’ve met, seemed to be a rank stranger
                                                     
no mother nor dad, not a friend could I see
                       
they knew not my name, and I knew not their faces
                                    
I found they were all rank strangers to me


(verse 2)
                                           
they've all moved away, said the voice of a stranger
                                                      
to a beautiful home on the bright crystal sea
                                     
it's a beautiful day, I'll meet 'em in heaven
                                 
where no one will be a stranger to me


(chours)
