Intro: |Dsus2 |A/D | x2

Alone, as I sit and watch the trees

Won't you tell me if I scream, will they bend down and listen to me

And it makes me wonder if I'll know the words when you come

Or will you laugh at me or will I run?

Little boy says to me "Where you goin' now, son?"

I said "I don't know where I'm goin' boy

I only know where I'm from."

And it makes me wonder if the stars shine when my eyes close

Or does my brother's heart cry, oh I don't know

I'm a stranger in my home

Now that everybody's gone

Someone please talk to me cause I feel you cry

And you're sitting with him and I know I'll never see you again

Lying down in Charleston underneath the Carolina sky

You see I'm tired of feeling this pain

I'm tired of livin' my own little lie

And it makes me wonder when I see you in my dreams

Does it mean anything, are you trying to talk to me?

I'm a stranger in my home

Tell me, are you feeling alone?

Someone tell me what to do,

'Cause I'm feeling strong

And I wonder how you feel

Does he realize, my pain is for real

I see you in my dreams

and I wonder if you're looking down at me and smiling right now

Oh yeah I wanna know if it's true, when he looks at me

Won't ya tell me, does he realize,

he came down here, and he took you to soon, oh

And now my days are short and my nights are long

I lay down out with memories of you, that keep me going on, going on

Now I know that it makes me wonder, as I sit and stare,

Will I see your face again - tell me, do you care?

I'm a stranger in my home

Livin' life on my own

Right now I just can't see

'Cause I'm feeling weak

And my soul begins to bleed

And no one's listening to me

Not even the trees

This is played over the first half of the verses, twice before each verse,

and four times at the end of the song.

The following is played over the second half of the first verse:

+ + + + + + + + + +

|-----2------2----|-----0------0----|-3----

|---4-------4-----|---2-------2----0|-0----

At the end of the other verses, going into the chorus, rather than holding

the G chord, play the following:

+ + + + + + + + + + + +

|-----3------3----|-------------------------|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|

|-------3---3--3--|-3-------3-3-3-3---3-----|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|

|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|

|-3-------3-------|---------------------2---|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|

Note that after the first verse, there are three guitars on the recording

doing their own thing - but since there isn't really anything fancy enough

to justify wasting a lot of space tabbing them all out, the chord

formations shown above make a reasonable arrangement for one guitar.

However, do note that over the verse riff, one of the other guitars

(an acoustic) uses these chords: Dsus2-xx0235 A/D-xx0225
