 then single note run
How  many days  has it been  since I was born?
How  many days  until I die? Why?
 Do I know  any way  that I  can make you laugh?
 Do I only  know how  to make you cry?
 When the baby  looks around him,
Such  a sight to see,
 He shares  a simple secret  with a wild  man -
  He's a stranger  in a strange land.
  (Just a) stranger  in a strange land
  (Tell me why a) stranger  in a strange land
   fill between
  Woah - a Stranger in a strange land
--2--3--5-5--3--2---
--2--4--5-5--4--2---
 How many miles will it take to see the sun?
 How many years until its done?
Kiss  my confusion away  in the night
 And lay  by my side  when the morning comes.
 And the baby  looks around him,
Shares  his bit of pain,
 With the begger  in the palace  of the king  -
 sung/spoken over
 Well, I don't exactly know what's going on in the world today
 Don't know what there is to say about the way
 The people are treatin' each other , not like brothers.
 Leaders take us far away from Ecology with Mythology and Astrology
 I've got the world to say about the way we love today
 Why can't we learn to love each other
 And try to learn a new faith to the whole world wide human race
 Stop the mud and chase the rain back, relax and get back on the human
 track
 Stop racing into oblivion, oh such a sad sad state we're in
 It's not the same - do you recognize and tell the truth when you hear it
 reign
 Won't you stop and listen to the children sing? Won't you sing it
 children?
 Chorus starts, vocal continues with:
  Won't you come on and sing it children
  (sing it one more time, i didn't hear ya)
  - Another great 70's tab by Dave Turner & Tim Willett
