Intro: |Dsus2 |A/D    |  x2

Dsus2       A/D
Alone, as I sit and watch the trees
Dsus2                          
  Won't you tell me if I scream, 
                          A/D
will they bend down and listen to me
                Bm                 
And it makes me wonder if I'll know
  A
 the words when you come
            G
Or will you laugh at me or will I 
run?

Little boy says to me "Where you 
goin' now, son?"
I said "I don't know where I'm goin'
 boy
I only know where I'm from."
And it makes me wonder if the stars 
shine when my eyes close
           G                       
Or does my brother's heart cry, oh I
D
 don't know

   G                        D
     I'm a stranger in my home
   G                          D
     Now that everybody's gone
   G                               
     Someone please talk to me 
    Bm          Bm7
cause I feel you cry
                A                  
     And you're sitting with him 
    G
and I know I'll never see you again

Lying down in Charleston underneath 
the Carolina sky
Continues after the ad

You see I'm tired of feeling this 
pain
I'm tired of livin' my own little 
lie
And it makes me wonder when I see 
you in my dreams
Does it mean anything, are you 
trying to talk to me?

I'm a stranger in my home
Tell me, are you feeling alone?
Someone tell me what to do,
'Cause I'm feeling strong
And I wonder how you feel
                                G  
Does he realize, my pain is for 
  F#m  Em
real

                Bm
I see you in my dreams
      Asus                     A7 
and I wonder if you're looking 
                          Bm    Bm7
down at me and smiling right now
        A G                       
Oh yeah I wanna know if it's true,
         Bm
 when he looks at me
Bm7                      Asus
Won't ya tell me, does he realize,
   A7
he came down here, and he took you 
to soon, oh

And now my days are short and my 
nights are long
I lay down out with memories of you,
 that keep me going on, going on
Now I know that it makes me wonder, 
as I sit and stare,
Will I see your face again - tell 
me, do you care?

I'm a stranger in my home
Livin' life on my own
Right now I just can't see
'Cause I'm feeling weak
And my soul begins to bleed
And no one's listening to me
Not even the trees

of the verses, twice before each 
verse,
and four times at the end of the 
song.

second half of the first verse:

Note that after the first verse, 
there are three guitars on the 
recording
doing their own thing - but since 
there isn't really anything fancy 
enough
to justify wasting a lot of space 
tabbing them all out, the chord
formations shown above make a 
reasonable arrangement for one 
guitar.
However, do note that over the verse
 riff, one of the other guitars
(an acoustic) uses these chords: 
Dsus2-xx0235  A/D-xx0225
