"Sit Down Young Stranger" by Gordon Lightfoot Brought to you by Mike Schweisthal [[email protected]]
INTRO: | G | GCG I'm standin' at the doorway, my head down in my hands CGD Not knowin' where to sit, not knowin' where I stand GCG My father looms above me, for him there is no rest CGD My mother's arms enfold me and hold me to her breast GCG "They say you've been out wanderin', they say you've traveled far CGD Sit down, young stranger and tell us who you are" GCG The room has all gone misty, my thoughts are all in spin CGDG "Sit down, young stranger and tell us where you been"
CG "Well, I've been up to the mountain, I've walked down by the sea CGD I never questioned no one and no one questioned me GCG My love was given freely and oft-times was returned CGD I never came to borrow, I only came to learn GCG Sometimes it did get lonely, but it taught me how to cry CGD And laughter came too easy for life to pass me by GCG I never had a dollar that I didn't earn with pride CGD 'Cause I had a million daydreams to keep me satisfied"
INTERLUDE: | G | G | C | G | C | G | D | G |
ADA "And will you gather daydreams, or will you gather wealth? DAE How can you find your fortune if you cannot find yourself?" ADA My mother's eyes grow misty, there's a tremblin' in her hand DAE "Sit down, young stranger, I do not understand ADA And will you try and tell us that you've been too long at school? DAE That knowledge is not needed, that power does not rule? ADA That war is not the answer, that young men should not die? DAE Sit down young stranger, I wait for your reply"
ADA "The answer is not easy for souls are not reborn DAE To wear the crown of peace, you must wear the Crown of Thorns ADA If Jesus had a reason, I'm sure he would not tell DAE They treated him so badly, how could he wish them well?"
ADA The parlor now is empty, there's nothin' left to say DAE My father has departed, my mother's gone to pray ADA There's rockets in the meadows and ships out on the sea DAE The answer's in the forest, carved upon a tree: DAEA "John loves Mary,"...does anyone love me?
