Love Song To A Stranger Chords by Joan Baez

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin [F] bed with a stranger?
This warm arms [C] all around me.
[G] _ _ _
_ [C] How long since I've gazed in the dark eyes that melted [F] my soul down
to a place where [C] it longs to be?
[G] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] All of your history has little to do with your [F] face.
_ [Bb] You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in [F] space. _
_ [C] _ You _ _ _ _ _ stood in the nude by [Em] the mirror and picked out [F] a rose
from the bouquet in [C] our hotel
_ [G] and _ _ [C] lay down beside me again
and I [F] watched the rose on the pillow _ [C] as it fell.
_ [G] _ _ _
[Em] I sank and I slept in a twilight with only [F] one care
_ [Bb] to know that when day broke and I awoke that you'd still [F] be there.
You'd still [C] be there. _ _ _ _
The hours for once they passed slowly _ [F] unendingly by
_ like a sweet breeze [C] on a _ field.
[G] _ _ _
[C] Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess [F] I thank you
when you caused me [C] to _ _ _ [G] _ _
yearn.
[Em] We spoke not a sentence, took not a footstep [F] beyond
_ [Bb] our two days together which seemingly soon would [F] be gone.
Would [C] be gone. _ _ _ _ _
Don't tell me of love everlasting and other [F] sad dreams
I don't want [C] to hear.
_ [G] _ _ _
[C] Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue [F] each other
from a lifetime [C] of _ _ _ [G] _ cares.
[Em] Cause if love means forever expecting nothing [F] in return
[Bb] then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to [F] _
learn.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Cause you gave to me oh so [Em] many things it [F] makes me wonder
_ how they could [C] belong to me.
[G] _ _ _
_ [C] And I gave you only my dark eyes which [F] melted your soul down
to the place where [C] it longs to [G] be. _ _
