A    A9 A    A9  A A7M   A7 
Just arrived on the seventen 
 D6         D7M       Dm7      Dm6 Bm5-/7 
Thought I'd see the old gang again 
 A       A9   A       C#m7 C#m5-/7 F#7 
But you know how they come  and   go  
D6           F7     E7   D  E7  
I'm just a stranger in town  
  A9 A   A9 A   A7M   A7 
Evrywhere, ev'ryone I see 
D6         D7M       Dm7      Dm6  Bm5-/7 
Seems to wonder who I can be 
A       A9   A       C#m7 C#m5-/7 F#7  D9       Fdim          A 
And I swear, no one seems  to  care  about a stranger in town 
A7M     C#m7          G#7   A7    F#7 
I saw a cottage on a lonely old street 
    C#m7         C#m5-/7                 F#7 
The weeds have grown 'round the gate 
A7M       C#m7                G#7         A7 F#7 
Somehow I felt that you would wait here, my sweet 
        D6       Bm5-/7     E7      
But it looks like I'm too late 
A    A9    A    A9  A   A7M       A7 
Guess I'll leave on the twelveohtwo 
D6         D7M       Dm7      Dm6  Bm5-/7 
Can't believe that there's no more you 
           A    A9  A  A7M(9) 
Is there nothing for me 
      C#m5-/7    F#7  D9       D6     E7 E7/13   A 
Will I always be      a stranger in my own home town 
A7M     C#m7             G#7      A7 F#7         
I asked around by no one knew you by name 
        C#m7        C#m5-/7   F#7 
I wonder where you are now 
A7M       C#m7                  G#7  A7       F#7 
I always hoped that things would be just the same 
               D6     Bm5-/7    E7                
And that you'd wait for me somehow 
   A   A9    A    A9  A    A7M         A7 
Guess I'll leave on the twelveohtwo 
D6       D              Dm         Dm6   Bm5-/7 
Now that you have found someone new 
          A     A9 A A7M(9)    
Is there nothing for me   
   C#m5-/7     F#7      D9         D6    E7 C#m5-/7 F#7 
Will I always be a stranger in my own home town 
A7M     C#m7          G#7   A7    F#7 
I saw a cottage on a lonely old street 
    C#m7         C#m5-/7                 F#7 
The weeds have grown 'round the gate 
A7M       C#m7                G#7         A7 F#7 
Somehow I felt that you would wait here, my sweet 
        D6       Bm5-/7     E7      
But it looks like I'm too late 
A    A9    A    A9  A   A7M       A7 
Guess I'll leave on the twelveohtwo 
D6         D7M       Dm7      Dm6  Bm5-/7 
Can't believe that there's no more you 
           A    A9  A  A7M(9) 
Is there nothing for me 
               D6        Bm5-/7   E7/13    Fdim      A7M 
When you're a stranger in your own home town
