VERSE1
                   C#maj7 Aadd9                       Badd11
I was born black and free,     I was born in the cold
                C#maj7      Aadd9                  Badd11
You see cold was home to me,      until I was told
                     C#maj7  Aadd9                               Badd11
I was really from the South,       so I travelled closer to the sun
         Aadd9                                          Badd11
But you see, flesh burning heat got me crossing the sea
           C#maj7
Back to the cold again
         F#m Abm A B
So here I am,      here I am

CHORUS
C#9sus4-C#m  Aadd9                   Badd11              C#9sus4 = x44444 
    I'm        a stranger, anywhere I run to
    C#maj7 Aadd9
Yes I am a stranger
                Badd11          E        Aadd2 (Aadd2+ Aadd2++ Aadd2+)
And I just can't seem to find a race I could claim
             Ab               Aadd9
The roots to my name, but who I am                          Add2 = 507600
    Badd11       C#maj7  Aadd9  Badd11                     Add2+ = 507605
Is a man of this world                                    Add2++ = 507607

C#maj7  Aadd9  Aadd9-Abm-F#m11

VERSE2 (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

CHORUS (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
   Badd11        Aadd2   
Is a man of this world


BRIDGE
                      C#maj7
Now there's this fuss about colour
Aadd2                         C#maj7                       B6/Eb = x64444
     And everybody needs to belong                         B11#9 = 767700
Aadd2                    C#m-B6/D#-B11#9-E7                   E7 = 076707
  So take a minute to consider my perspective
         Aadd9                        Ab
You see, black kicked me out once and white took me in
    Aadd9                              Ab
But white looked at me once and nearly spat at my skin
F#m                                                    Ab
   I'm so confused, I'm so confused about who I should hate
                                  B
I figure I'll just love them all

CHORUS x3 (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
