[Intro] G [Verse]
G
As I walked out one evening

   C           G          D        Em
To breathe the air and to sooth my mind

  C                          G
I thought of friends and the home I had

    C         G        Am     D          G  C  G
And all those things I left behind, woah-oh
[Verse]
G
A silent star shone on me

   C            G     D Em
My eyes saw the far horizon

   C                 G
As if to pierce this veil of time

      C         G/B     Am     D     G  C  G
And escape this earthly prison, woah-oh
[Chorus]
           D      G
Will there come a time when the memories fade

    C                D          Em
And pass on with the long, long years?

C                G
When the ties no longer bind

      C       G/B       Am      D
Lord, save me from this darkest fear

                  G C    G
Don't let me come home a stranger

           Em       D    G        C  G
I couldn't stand to be a stranger
[Verse]
G
In this place so far from home

     C       G              D          Em
They know my name, but they don't know me

     C                   G
They hear my voice, they see my face

    C          G/B    Am       D        G  C  G
But they can't lay no claim on me, woah-oh
[Chorus]
           D      G
Will there come a time when the memories fade

    C                D          Em
And pass on with the long, long years?

C                G
When the ties no longer bind

      C       G/B       Am      D
Lord, save me from this darkest fear

                  G C    G
Don't let me come home a stranger

           Em       D    G        C  G
I couldn't stand to be a stranger
[Verse]
G
As I walk this universe

  C       G       D        Em
I free my mind of time and space

  C                  G
I wander through the galaxy

    C     G/B  Am      D           G  C  G
But never do I find my place, woah-oh
[Chorus]
           D      G
Will there come a time when the memories fade

    C                D          Em
And pass on with the long, long years?

C                G
When the ties no longer bind

      C       G/B       Am      D
Lord, save me from this darkest fear

                  G C    G
Don't let me come home a stranger

           Em       D    G        C  G
I couldn't stand to be a stranger

      C       G/B       Am      D
Lord, save me from this darkest fear

                      G C    G
So, don't let me come home a stranger

           Em       D    G
I couldn't stand to be a stranger
