G D7 G
I wandered again to my home in the mountains
A D7 A D7
Where in youths' early dawn I was happy and free
D7 G D7 G
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
G D7 G C G
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
[Chorus]
G
Ever'body I met (D SPONSE: ever'body I met)
C G
Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
G
No mother or dad (no mother or dad) ...
A D7 A D7
Not a friend could I see (not a friend could I see)
G
They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
D7 G
And I knew not their faces (and I knew not their faces)
G
I found they were all (I found they were all)
D7 G C G
Rank strangers to me (rank strangers to me).

G D G
"They've all moved away" - said the voice of a stranger
G A D A D
"To a beautiful home - by the bright crystal sea"

Some beautiful day - I'll meet 'em in heaven
D7 G C G
Where no one will be - a stranger to me.
[Chorus]

Ever'body I met (D SPONSE: ever'body I met)

Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)

No mother or dad (no mother or dad) ...

Rank strangers to me (rank strangers to me).
