Dead Outlaw - A Stranger chords by Misc Musicals

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
A
To see him here today
         E7               A
Without shoes, without a smile
     E             A
It's hard to reconcile
                        E7
With the man, he was to me
    A
He came into my life
         E            A
With his broken disposition
E            A
I had my suspicion
      E             A
He remained a mystery

Chorus 1:
  E7    A      D    A
A stranger, a stranger
G
Hoping for a future
       D
In our dusty little town
   E7   A     D    C#m
A stranger, a stranger
G
How was I to know
         D             A
He could never settle down?

Verse 2:
A
It hasn't been that long
E7                  A
Since I've been without him
E                 A
There's not much about him
                   E7
I can recollect or tell
  A
A picnic in the rain
  E                A
A walk we may have taken
    E              A
But I could be mistaken
   E               A
I don't remember well

Chorus 2:
  E7    A      D    A
A stranger, a stranger
G
Never gave a reason
        D
Why he came here on his own
   E7   A     D    C#m
A stranger, a stranger
G
Though we were together
   D          A
I always felt alone

Verse 3:
A
Strange to think today
            E7             A
We could be living life together
E              A
Talking about whether
                            E
We should prune the cherry tree
A
At the kitchen table
E                   A
Could you pass the gravy?
E                 A
Should we have a baby?
       E           A
It was never gonna be

Chorus 3:
  E7    A      D    A
A stranger, a stranger
G
Held me in his arms
       D
Not so very long ago
   E7   A     D    C#m
A stranger, a stranger
    G
The man I was to marry
      D            A
Was a man I didn't know
