Am    Em  Am
Am    Em  Am
Am   D   Am
Am    Em  Am

[Verse]
                Em          Am
A stranger came in from the night
                   Em        Am
And he stood as if lost in a dream
                 D        Am
His smile was as sad as a true love denied
                    Em          Am     Am    Em  Am
And his voice was a song in the wind

[Verse]
                     Em     Am
I have travelled for many a mile
                 Em       Am
And my journey I cannot delay
                      D             Am
But I must rest for a while for I'm weary and cold
                  Em       Am    Am    Em  Am
And tomorrow I'll be on my way

[Verse]
                Em           Am
Give me fire to keep out the cold
                       Em            Am
Close the shutters and make fast the door
                     D           Am
Give me food for the night and a candle for light
                      Em         Am      Am    Em  Am
And I will make up my bed on the floor

[Verse]
                  Em          Am
I have nothing to give for my keep
                   Em       Am
And your favours I cannot repay
                  D           Am
But a gift is not measured in silver and gold
                     Em             Am
It's a memory that's treasured each day

[Instrumental]
Am    Em  Am
Am    Em  Am
Am   D   Am
Am    Em  Am

[Verse]
              Em            Am
The stranger arose with the dawn
                      Em         Am
And he shouldered his travelling load
                 D             Am
Without making a sound he took one look around
                     Em          Am     Am    Em  Am
And the stranger, he took to the road

[Verse]
                   Em           Am
When the cold wind howls in the night
                   Em          Am
And the rain beats hard on the door
               D             Am
A voice in the wind seems to echo again
                    Em              Am     Am    Em  Am
And the stranger is travelling once more
