Beautiful Strangers

	 
[Intro]
E
[Strophe]
E 
 If you ever hear that thunder,  
         E 
put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder 
                A 
Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather 
       A                                            E 
Oh, and whether you're gonna get on in, is up to him
[Strophe]
E 
  If you ever hear that crying  
       E 
in the distance like some siren 
                A 
Maybe there's a singer with no ring  
                    E 
around their little finger, no love.
[Refrain]
         F#m                 A                        E 
And if I lose my voice, if I have no choice but to go quiet
          F#m           A               E 
Won't you sing for me a melody into the night air 
         F#m                   A                        E 
And if I die too young, or the wolf he comes, fee-fi-fo-fum 
     F#m                       A                       E 
If I die too young, oh, if the locust come, well then, run, run, run, free
[Pont]
E - E - E - E
[Strophe]
           E 
If you ever hear that gunshot,  
        E 
you may think 'bout what you do but you don't got 
      A                               E 
Say a prayer, think of mother, I am a rock
[Pont]
E - E - E - E
[Strophe]
E 
 If you ever hear that sound now 
       E 
If the door gets kicked in, here they come now 
         A 
Think of others, be their cover 
                  E 
I am what they're not
[Refrain]
         F#m                A                     E 
Pray for Paris, they cannot scare us, or stop the music 
          F#m                     A          E 
You got a sweet voice, child, why don't you use it? 
     F#m                      A                        E 
If I die too young, or if the gunmen come, I'm full of love 
     F#m             A                E 
So release me, every piece of me, up above, (Up above)
[Pont]
E - E - E - E
[Strophe]
E 
  Love my mama and my papa 
E 
  Love my sister, can't stand the coppers
             A
 up in their choppers 
               E 
Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead
[Pont]
E - E - E - E
[Strophe]
E 
   Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home, 
E 
   oh, my Lord, come carry me home 
                   A 
I'm singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord, oh my God, oh my Lord,  
                              E 
oh my God, oh my Lord, Oh, my Lord
[Refrain]
         F#m                         A                      E 
And if I die too young for something I ain't done, carry my name every day 
        F#m             A             E 
Oh, I'm sorry, Oh, I'm sorry, Freddie Gray 
          F#m            A          E 
But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger 
          F#m              A                 E 
Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger 
E 
Oh, beautiful stranger
[Pont]
E - E - E - E 
[Outro]
     F#m                A                       E 
If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered 
               F#m            A            E 
And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger 
               F#m              A                E 
And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger 
      F#m              A                   E 
Carry onward like some songbird, beautiful stranger 
      F#m              A                      E 
Carry onward like some strong bird, beautiful stranger 
E 
 Oh, beautiful stranger
