_ _ _ _ Legend has it that one day a stranger rode into town.
[Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
Do you know as [Eb] well as I do [F] that people don't take too [Ab] kindly to strangers?
[Bb] Especially when he has a [Db] different kind of way of doing things.
_ [Ab] Be that as it [Bb] may, there was something [Eb] about this [F] particular stranger that made [Ab] a few of the town [Bb] folks sit up and take [Db] notice.
The problem was, [Bb] there was a certain element in town that [Eb] didn't take too [F] kindly to some [Ab] stranger spreading [Bb] new ideas around.
[Db] _ This particular [Ab] element seemed to feel [Bb] they had the town under their [Eb] control.
[F] _ _
_ [Ab] [Bb] You might refer [Db] to this as an altitude problem.

[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] You [Bb] might [Cm] recognize him here, [Eb] but there [Bb] are things you can't do [Eb] now.
_ _ [Ab] He [Bb] didn't [Cm] set off too [Ab] many things, [Eb] despite everyone else trying to put him down.
_ _ I [Bb] know he's [Eb] very [Ab] good when he's [Bb] different, but he's really nothing when he's [Eb] bad.
_ _ [Ab] I [Bb] knew that he'd [Cm] never [Ab] be too good to [Eb] some, but [Bb] from his eyes I could [F] see that he'd be [Eb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] a little bit [Eb] _ _

[Bb] _ _ _ [Fm] _ side.
There [Eb] was a moment of [Fm] realization, [Eb] _ didn't like the stranger playing the _ game.
_ [Fm] [Bb] Everyone's face [Cm] was a bright [Fm] [Eb] situation, wasn't that a good time to make a change?
[Ab] _ I'm [Bb] trying to [Eb] go by.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[Fm] [Db] There's one thing I have to [Ab] reach out for.
[Bbm] Time to [Eb] go by.
[F] _ _ [Ab] Don't let [Bb]
[F] yourself [Db] go off the line.
[Ab] _ _ [Bb] _
Even [Ab] now I [Eb] remember _ the _ way you make me feel.
[Ab] _ [Bb] _
I've been [Cm] living [Fm] in the [Eb] west, _ _ [Fm] where am [F] I now?
_ _ [Bb] _
[Ab] Why are we here?

_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Cm] with these open [Ab] eyes, _ _ _ _ _ where must I go?
How do I control my mind?
_ _ How I navigate?
Do I mind?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ The _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ game's never finished, if I don't stop.

So anyway, this certain [Bb] element did what it really [Eb] could short on lynching [Fm] to stop the
stranger from making people [Bb] sit up and listen.
[Db]
And for the most part, it worked.
But as [Bb] luck would have it, [Eb] there were a few who would [Fm] listen.
And listen they did.
[C] Over and over [Db] again.
The stranger's gone now.
