Love Song To A Stranger Chords by Joan Baez

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ How [B] _
long since I've spent a whole night in a twin [E] bed with a stranger?
His warm eyes [B] all around me.
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my [E] soul down to the place where [B] it longed to be?
[F#] _ _ _ [D#m] All of your history has little to do with [E] your face. _
[A] You're mainly a mystery with violins filling [E] in space.
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked [E] out a rose
from the bouquet [B] in our hotel. _
[F#] _ _ _ [B] And lay down beside me again and I watched [E] the rose on the pillow _ [B] as it fell. _
[F#] I [F#] _ _ [D#m] _ sank and I slept in a twilight with only [E] one care
_ [A] to know that when day broke and I awoke that you would [E] still be there.
You would [B] still be there. _ _ _
[A#] _ [G#m] The hours, for once they [B] pass slowly _ [E] unendingly by
_ [F#] like a sweet _ [B] breeze on a _ _ _ _ field.
[G#m] Your gentleness came down upon me and I [E] guess I thank you
when you're [F#] causing me to heal. _ _ _ _
[B] Don't tell me of love everlasting and other [E] sad dreams.
_ I don't want [B] to hear.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue [E] each other from a lifetime _ [B] of chaos.
_ _ [F#] Cause if love [D#m] means forever expecting nothing [E] in return
then I [A] hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn.
_ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Cause you gave to me oh so many things it makes me [E]
wonder
how they could _ [B] belong to me.
_ _ [F#] _ [B] And I gave you only my dark eyes which melted [E] your soul down
to the place where [B] it longs to be.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ Thank you. _ _
