[Intro]AF#mED[Verse 1]A
Velvet night,
it's
dark and lonely
F#m
City lights are
the
E
only thing inside
D
You're the only
thing
that's right
A
Fast cars and
your
driver
F#m
make me feel so
alive
E
I turn the wheel,
I made this deal,
D
don't take the
deal

[Chorus]F#mD
Baby, I'm so far
away
E
from home
F#mD
Baby, you could
bury
E
me in stone
F#m
I could never
D
hold
E
you in my hands
D
I know I'm a
stranger
A
in your land
[Verse 2]A
Silver moon,
chase tomorrow
F#m
Nothing left
you
can borrow
E
Don't be proud,
hide your
D
face behind the
clouds
A
Angel wings are
broken,
F#m
you have not
truly
spoken
E
To the ones
whose
pointed
D
guns have set
the
sun
[Chorus]F#mD
Baby, I'm so far
away
E
from home
F#mD
Baby, you could
bury
E
me in stone
F#m
I could never
D
hold
E
you in my hands
D
I know I'm a
stranger
A
in your land

How to play Stranger: key, chords and progression
Stranger by Ruth Radelet is in the key of A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 4 chords: A, F#m, E and D.
The progression the song keeps returning to is A – F#m – E – D (I – vi – V – IV in A major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – soh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, Em, D, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
