🎸 Verse 1:
A augmentedA        D MajorD
Stranger I know where you ll find her
A augmentedA         D MajorD            A augmentedA    G+G  A augmentedA G+G
Down the road from here about a mile and a quarter
    A augmentedA         D MajorD
You ll know the place by shackey barn
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
It stands in the field by a rundown farm
   D MajorD              A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA  G+G
And a pond filled up with stagnant water

🎸 Verse 2:
A augmentedA         D MajorD
Then you ll see a shack near by
    A augmentedA       E MajorE
You ll ask yourself I wonder why
  D MajorD                A augmentedA
It looks so cold and lifeless all around
         D MajorD
Chimney rocks are falling out
  A augmentedA          E MajorE
It looks as though the fires gone out
    D MajorD                  A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA  G+G
And the biggest part of the house is rotted down

🎸 Verse 3:
    A augmentedA             D MajorD
Though stranger,I ain t seen her lately
                  A augmentedA
She don t come around here like she used to
D MajorD
You ve got her pictured in your mind
D MajorD
Pretty gentle sweet and kind
                     E MajorE  E7E7  E7E7  E MajorE
You ve practiced every word you re gonna say

A augmentedA      D MajorD
She s in the graveyard near here
E MajorE               A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA  G+G
 She died ten years ago, last May
   A augmentedA       D MajorD
There was a man she talked about
 A augmentedA       E MajorE
A augmentedA man she had to live without
D MajorD               A augmentedA
Years ago, he up and left one day
          D MajorD
He left her with an unborn child
   A augmentedA         E MajorE
And a love for him that never died
    D MajorD                   A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA G+G
And an aching heart that sent her to an early grave

🎸 Verse 5:

Yes stranger I know who you are
 A augmentedA       E MajorE
I recognized you from a far
  D MajorD                A augmentedA
But you ain t never seen me not one time
        D MajorD
Yeh I know that you re my dad
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
From the pictures that my mama had
  D MajorD                 A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA  G+G
And it was me and mama that you left behind

🎸 Verse 6:
   A augmentedA         D MajorD
Well, stranger you will find her there
              A augmentedA
In peaceful sleep on yonder hill
               D MajorD
Where we once walked as I do still
E MajorE               A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA  G+G
 To pick her flowers from the field

🎸 Verse 7:
   A augmentedA          D MajorD
Cause mama don t need you anymore
  A augmentedA        D MajorD
And I don t need you like before
    A augmentedA               E MajorE  E7E7  E MajorE  E MajorE
You can go on back to where you went before
       A augmentedA    G+G  A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA
You re just a stranger
