Verse 1
(D major) A world- wearied man with
(G major) tear filled eyes
(D major) Walked in off the street of the
uncom (C sharp minor) monly wise (A major)
In (D major) to the church meeting,
with this (G major) story he came
Some (D major) times angels and strangers
are (A major) one and the same (D major) (B minor)
The (D major) preacher said "Sir,
you're (G major) welcome in here
Now tell us as much (D major) as you'd (A major) want
us to hear" (D major)
And the stranger said,
"It was no more than an hour ago, people,
(G major) I was lookin' for shelter for the night."
(D major) "I wanted to go somewhere
out of the way,
somewhere peaceful (E major) and quiet."
(D major) "So I went to a cemetery,
(A major) close by Thompson Lane, (D major)
and with full respect I entered it
and found rest (G major) from the rain."
"I laid down under a sycamore,
(D major) an' I was barely asleep,
when someone said "Hello (A major) stranger"
and touched the boot (D major) s on my feet."
"His hair was pure silver,
almost like a crown of glory (G major) on top,
and the rain didn't touch him,
(D major) not one single drop."
"His voice was familiar,
(E major) it brought me comfort and peace." (A major)
"He laughed and said,
"Well, we picked a strange place to meet, (D major)
but I understand, I've often (G major) come here to pray,
when the burdens of life
put stones in (D major) my way."
"And you see friend,
you and me, we're brothers,
(A major) though (G major) we've never (D major) met."
"We've both known heartache,
(B minor) (D major) disappointment and the pain of regret."
"The full weight of sadness,
(G major) love and it's cost,
and without love, a soul (D major) is nothing,
but empty and lost." (E major)
"And I've come to tell you, (A major)
to go on now and be brave."
"You can (D major) live again."
"You know it's her love that you crave."
(G major) "Go find the one you left behind,
hold her, take her (D major) by the hand."
"Show her how much you need her,
I believe (A major) she'll understand."
(D major) "Now son you take a look at this ground,
it's filled with things unsaid."
"There's a world of good intentions
here in (G major) the land of the dead."
"And friend I'm here to tell ya, on this (D major) very night,
I was sent by your Maker, the giver (E major) of life, to tell you there's (A major) rest
for your soul."
"There's (D major) peace and relief,
if you'll just surrender your burdens."
(G major) "Lay them at God's feet."
"Walk out of this place." (D major)
"Go now and live in the light
of a pure (A major) perfect presence,
that loves (D major) and forgives."
(B minor) He (A major) wore a long (D major) purple coat,
(G major) covered in wheels
(A major) Red leather boots, with (G major) sparkling (D major) heels
On a dark stormy night,
a (G major) lost soul was saved
Brought (D major) into the fold on (A major) Porter
Wag (D major) oner (A major) 's grave (D major)
(A major) (D major)
