John Miles – Stranger In The City
Dm Bb Gm Dm
Main 1
Dm Bb
Buildings tower round me like they're waiting for the kill.
Dm Gm
For days I haven't eaten and I really do feel ill.
Bb C Dm
If I cry for help, would you hear my call?
Dm A Gm
If I stumble now, would you let me fall?
Gm Gm# A Dm
Won't you give me a hand? Try to understand, I'm a stranger in the city.
Dm Bb Gm Dm
Main 2
Stuck inside these streets it's like a human traffic jam.
People walk right over me now, they don't give a damn.
If I ask for death, would you give me a gun?
If I took your hand, would you turn and run?
Won't you pity me,
Just try to see,
I'm a stranger in the city.
Dm Bb Gm Dm

All my friends were saying that the streets were paved with gold.
D G A D
I couldn't wait to get there from the stories I'd been told.
D G A D
There's everything that I could want, it sounded like a dream.
Bb Gm Bb A Dm
But my money's gone And I've got no-one. Friends are nowhere to be seen.
Dm Bb Gm Dm
Main 3
Concrete jungle all around can't hear the birds and bees.
I've walked for miles, I can't believe what happened to the trees.
If I need someone, would you help me to get by?
If I come to you, would you give it a try?
I'm all alone, So far from home. I'm a stranger in the city.
Na na na na na na….
