E
I wandered again to my home in the mountains

E                                           B7
Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free

E                             A           E
I looked for my friends but I never could find them

E                          B            E
I found they were all rank strangers to me
[Chorus]
E
Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger

                                      B
No mother or dad not a friend could I see

E                A                         E
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces

E                     B                 E
I found they were all rank strangers to me
[Instrumental] E E A E E E A B7 E E A E E E B7 E [Verse 2]
E
Now they've all moved away said the voice of a stranger

E                        A              B
To a beautiful home by a bright crystal sea

E                 A                   E
And some day I'll meet them all up in Heaven

E                      B                E
Where no one will be a rank stranger to me
[Chorus]
E
Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger

                                      B
No mother or dad not a friend could I see

E                A                         E
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces

E                     B                 E
I found they were all rank strangers to me
[Outro]
E    B7           E   E
Rank strangers to me
