G D
Well, I don't exactly know what's going on in the
A
world today. Don't know what there is to say about the
G D
way the people are treating each other,
A
not like brothers. Leaders take us
G D
far away from ecology with
A
mythology and astrology. I’ve got some
G D
words to say about the way we live
A
today. Why can't we learn to love each
G D
other? It's time to turn a new face to the
A
whole world wide human race.
G D
Stop the money chase. Lay back,
A
relax, get back on the human track.
G D
Stop racing toward oblivion. Oh, such a
A
sad, sad state we're in
G D
and that's a thing. Do you recognize the bells of
A
truth when you hear them ring? Won't you
G D A
stop and listen to the children sing?
G D
Won’t you sing it children?
A
Won't you come on and sing it children?
G D A
He's a stranger in a strange land
G D A
Just a stranger in a strange land
G D A
stranger in a strange land
G D A
stranger in a strange land
