Beautiful Strangers chords by Kevin Morby

[Introduction]
E


[Verse 1]
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 our name, is up to him
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
     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

[Verse 2]
      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
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
     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)


[Verse 3]
E
 Love my mama and my papa
E                           A
 Love my sister, can't stand the coppers up in their choppers
        E
Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead
E
  Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home, 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
     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


[Instrumental]
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 songbird, beautiful stranger
E
