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

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
