[Verse]

A        E           G                      C  G
How many days has it been since I was born?
A        E            D
How many days until I die?
     A        E         G
Do I know any ways that I can make you laugh?
        A         E               F#m
Or do I only know how to make you cry?

[Prechorus]

         Bm          E
When the baby looks around him
     Bm              E
it's such a sight to see.
   C#m             F#m             D
He shares a simple secret with the wise man.

[Chorus]

       G             D       A
He's a stranger in a strange land
       G             D       A
Just a stranger in a strange land  Tell me why
       G             D       A
He's a stranger in a strange land  wo o o
       G             D       A
Just a stranger in a strange land

[Verse]

A        E             G               D
How many miles will it take to see the sun?
    A        E                D
And how many years until it's done?
A          E       G          D
Kiss my confusion away in the night.
A         E                     F#m
Lay by my side when the morning comes.

[Prechorus]

        Bm          E
And the baby looks around him
    Bm                E
and shares his bed of hay
         C#m          F#m           D
with the burro in the palace of the king.

[Chorus]

       G             D       A
He's a stranger in a strange land Tell me why
       G             D       A
He's a stranger in a strange land whooo
       G             D       A
Just a stranger in a strange land
       G             D       A
Just a stranger in a strange land

         G            D
Well, I don't exactly know what's going on in the
A
world today. Don't know what there is to say about the
G                  D
way the people are treating each other,
A
not like brothers. Leaders take us
G             D
far away from ecology with
A
mythology and astrology. I’ve got some
G                      D
words to say about the way we live
  A
today. Why can't we learn to love each
G                   D
other? It's time to turn a new face to the
A
whole world wide human race.
G                     D
Stop the money chase. Lay back,
  A
relax, get back on the human track.
G                    D
Stop racing toward oblivion. Oh, such a
A
sad, sad state we're in
    G                      D
and that's a thing. Do you recognize the bells of
A
truth when you hear them ring? Won't you
G        D                      A
stop and listen to the children sing?
          G       D
Won’t you sing it children?
          A
Won't you come on and sing it children?
       G             D       A
He's a stranger in a strange land
       G             D       A
Just a stranger in a strange land
G             D       A
stranger in a strange land
G             D       A
stranger in a strange land
