 <i></i>Stranger to Himself
 Fairport Convention
 
 (Capo on IV; the actual chords are B, E and A)
 
 Intro: G
            G                
 He was a stranger to himself
    G                 
 A spy in his own camp
          C             G    
 And his money was his health
       F                    C        G  
 All thrown to dust by his very own hand
 
 Yet his beauty lingered still
 Beyond the draining of the sand
 But greener was the other side of the hill
 Richer was the other man's land
 
         C  G       C                   F         G  
 But we loved him, loved him just like brothers would
     C G        C                 F      G   
 We loved him, loved him like no others could
 G         C  G        C                F      G  
  And she loved him, loved him like a lover should
 
 Take good care of an aching heart
 You never can replace it
 You know you're the master of your art
 You realise that when you think it fit
 
 The orbs of blue are jading away
 No laughter from them dances
 Yet you're bound to remember this one day
 Hazards are risks and risks are chances
 
 You can run for cover, run for cover like a frightened hare
 Till it's all over, it's all over and there's no one there
 'Cos you daren't discover, daren't discover that we really care
