C - G7 - C - F - C

[Verse 1]

C                             F
I'll not be a stranger when I get to that city
    C                          G7
I'm acquainted with folks over there
            C
There'll be friends there to greet me
            F
There'll be loved ones to meet me
       C             G7       C     F C
At the gates of that city foursquare

[Chorus]

            G7                              C
Through the years through the tears they've gone one by one
            G7                 C
But they'll wait at the gate until my race is won
                              F
I'll not be a stranger when I get to that city
    C               G7         C    F C
I'm acquainted with folks over there

[Verse 2]

I'll not be a stranger when I get to that city
       C                              G7
I've a home on the streets paved with gold
       C
I will feel right at home there
        F
In that beautiful somewhere
         C                G7         C   F C
With the loved ones whose memories I hold

[Chorus]

            G7                              C
Through the years through the tears they've gone one by one
            G7                 C
But they'll wait at the gate until my race is won
                              F
I'll not be a stranger when I get to that city
    C               G7         C    F C
I'm acquainted with folks over there

[Verse 3]

I'll not be a stranger when I get to that city
C                               G7
There'll be no lonely days over there
         C
There'll be no stormy weather
      F
But a great time together
       C               G7       C     F C
On the streets of that city foursquare

[Chorus]
            G7                              C
Through the years through the tears they've gone one by one
            G7                 C
But they'll wait at the gate until my race is won
                              F
I'll not be a stranger when I get to that city
    C               G7         C    F C
I'm acquainted with folks over there

[Outro]
                              F
I'll not be a stranger when I get to that city
    C               G7         C    F C
I'm acquainted with folks over there
