Verse 1
(G major) I (C major) was (C sharpdim) (A major) (E minor) (A major) (D major)
(G major) down upon my luck
at the (C major) jobs were hard to find (G major) .
(D major) I (G major) was sort of short on cash
(E minor) and my (A major) bill was way behind.
(D major) So I went (G major) to see my lifelong friend,
an (C major) old man now betrayed.
I figured as hell (A major) he'd (D major) help me out
(A major) with this fortune he'd (D major) made.
(G major) I said, old pal, I need your help,
and I (C major) hate to be so (G major) bold
But remember when I saved your life
(E minor) down (A major) at the swimming hole?
(D major) Now I'd (G major) like to ask a favor,
if you (C major) can see your way
I'd like to get (C sharpdim) a little (D major) loan, (E major)
(A major) then I (D major) heard him (G major) say
Excuse me, total stranger,
I (C major) can't seem to recall
Now are (G major) you really certain
that (A major) we've ever met at all?
(D major) I'd really (G major) like to help you out,
as (C major) he opened wide the door
A (G major) so long total stranger
(E minor) that I've never (D major) seen (G major) be fore
Now once I had a girlfriend
who (C major) really caught my eye (G major)
And when (D major) my wife (G major) was out of town,
(A major) I'd caught her on (D major) the sly
We'd (G major) taken all the night spots
and honky (C major) -tonk around
Join in all (D major) the parties
and (A major) really (D major) paint the town
(G major) But then one night my wife came (C major) home,
she must have smelled a (G major) rat
She looked around from place
(E minor) to place
and found (A major) where I (D major) was at
Well, there (G major) we were, all covered up,
(C major) I knew that I was dead
But before my wife could say (A major) a word,
I jumped (D major) right up and said
She's (G major) just a total stranger
(C major) who came in off the street
The (G major) place was kinda crowded,
(E minor) so (A major) I offered her (D major) a seat
Now, I couldn't (G major) leave this lady
just (C major) a -standin' on the floor
She's (G major) just a total (E minor) stranger
that (A major) I've never seen (G major) be fore
Now, her friend said, let's go huntin'
I've (C major) got the gun and shells,
(G major) and the birds are ready flyin'
And I (A major) think we'll do quite well
(D major) But he shot (G major) a half a dozen
And then (C major) said, I suppose
I really ought to (A major) tell you that
The hunting season's (D major) closed
(G major) About that time he heard a noise
(C major) And stepped behind a tree
(G major) He took the gun, the birds,
the (A major) shells
And gave them all (D major) to me
Up stepped (G major) the old game warden
And found (C major) me standing there
And then to my (A major) complete (E minor) sur prise
(A major) I heard my friend (G major) declare
He's just a total stranger
An (C major) d I was passin' by
I (G major) saw this total (E minor) stranger
shoot (A major) those birds out of (D major) the sky
It's a shame (G major) the way some people
these (C major) laws they do ignore
Like (G major) this total stranger
(E minor) that (A major) I've never seen (D major) be fore
(G major) (C major) (C sharpdim) (E minor) (A major) (D major) (G major)
Total stranger
