Strum
D-DU-UDU
Badd11 = x46564
--- = 577600
Cmaj7 Aadd9 Badd11 Badd11 = 799800
I was born black and free, I was born in the cold
You see cold was home to me, until I was told
I was really from the South, so I travelled closer to the sun
But you see, flesh burning heat got me crossing the sea
Back to the cold again
So here I am, here I am
C9sus4-[C#m] [Aadd9] Badd11 C#9sus4 = x44444
I'm a stranger, anywhere I run to
Yes I am a stranger
Badd11 E Aadd2 (Aadd2+ Aadd2++ Aadd2+)
And I just can't seem to find a race I could claim
The roots to my name, but who I am Add2 = 507600
Badd11 Cmaj7 Aadd9 Badd11 Add2+ = 507605
Is a man of this world Add2++ = 507607
same chords as before)
This is my second shot, winter's smiling at me
I'm taking this shot to be all I can be
So the next place I stop will be the land of the free
A place where a million of colours and dreams dwell
Sounds like a place to me, where someone might understand
Just who I am, who I am
same as before until last chord)
I'm a stranger, anywhere I run to
Yes I am a stranger
And I just can't seem to find a race I could claim
The roots to my name, but who I am
Is a man of this world
Now there's this fuss about colour
Aadd2 / = x64444
And everybody needs to belong B119 = 767700
Aadd2 -B6/D-B11#9-[E7] [E7] = 076707
So take a minute to consider my perspective
You see, black kicked me out once and white took me in
But white looked at me once and nearly spat at my skin
I'm so confused, I'm so confused about who I should hate
I figure I'll just love them all
same chords as first chorus, repeat)
I'm a stranger, anywhere I run to
Yes I am a stranger
And I just can't seem to find a race I could claim
The roots to my name, but who I am
Is a man of this world
