As recorded by Bad Company (From the 1995 Album COMPANY OF STRANGERS) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
         C                G         D
Made his way out from the low lands

    C                    G  D
The son of a preacher man

        C                  G     D
Then he seemed to lose direction

       C                   G     D C G  
On his way to the promised land, no
[Interlude] D C G D C G [Verse 2]
D  C                   G  C
It started with a woman

D                        G    D  
And it ended in a bottle fight

    C                      G   
The jury would not forgive him

C              D             C           G                      
When he took a man within an inch of his life
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb        F             C       Eb
When they took away his freedom

Bb               C        D    
Buried his soul aside, no no
[Chorus]
D      C          G        C            
In the company of strangers

D            C         G   Bb           
You find the enemy within, no

D       C                  G   C       
And the walls that capture evil

Bb       C                  G     
Keep the faith from getting in

Bb     C          D        C G            
In the company of strangers
[Interlude] D C G [Verse 3]
D     C                 G         D   
So he sits behind these gray walls

C                     G   C                          
Staring at the yellow moon

D                             G          
His dreams lie shattered all around him

        D                G           
Casting shadows into his room, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb        F             C       Eb
When they took away his freedom

Bb               C        D    
Buried his soul aside, no no
[Chorus]
D      C          G        C            
In the company of strangers

D            C         G   Bb           
You find the enemy within, no

D       C                  G   C       
And the walls that capture evil

Bb       C                  G     
Keep the faith from getting in

Bb     C          D                    
In the company of strangers                               
[Bridge]
Dm                              
So the years passed by one day

      C                          
Steps outside to the blinding sun

                                 Bb             
No money in his pockets, and his clothes ?????

Dm                             A            
But under his shirt he wears a gun, no no
[Guitar Solo] D C G D C G D C G D C G [Verse 4]
D         C                   G           C                       
When they buried him the very next morning

D   C           G    C      
????? that went wrong

D    C                    G   C      
In a graveyard full of outlaws

     D          C   G                
In a stranger's ?????
[Chorus]
D      C          G        C            
In the company of strangers

D            C         G   Bb           
You find the enemy within, no

D       C                  G   C       
And the walls that capture evil

Bb       C                  G     
Keep the faith from getting in                

D      C          G        C                           
In the company of strangers

D            C         G Bb                         
You find the enemy within

D       C                  G   C                               
And the walls that capture evil

Bb       C                  G                              
Keep the faith from getting in

D      C        G      C          D    C    B                        
In the company, in the company of strangers

Bb                     D          C                G          C        
Listen, I've gotta get out of here, I've gotta get out of here...
