Chords for Love Song To A Stranger (Joan Baez, 1972)

_ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin [F] bed with a stranger?
His 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 [F] your face.
[Bb] You're mainly a mystery with violins filling [F] in your space. _
[C] You _ _ _ [C] stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out [F] a rose
in the bouquet in [C] our hotel.
_ [G] _ _
[C] And 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 [F] still 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 thanked you
when you caused me [C] to _ _ [G] yearn.
[Em] We spoke not a sentence, took not a [F] footstep beyond
[Bb] our two days together which seemingly soon would [F] be gone.
Soon would [C] be gone. _ _ _
Don't tell me of love everlasting and other [F] sad dreams I don't [C] want 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 many things it [F] makes me wonder
how they could [C] belong to [G] me. _ _
[C] And I gave you only my dark eyes which [F] melted your soul down
to the place where [C] it belongs to [G] be. _ _
