Strangers - guitar

Strangers

     Jack wrote the riff for Strangers in B minor a while back. I added some lyrics and we put a melody together. The song is based on my French/Irish ancestors on the Gervais side who came to Quebec in the sixteen thirties.

     This recording features acoustic and vocals by me with a dash of synthesizer in the second part. Jack does harmony and plays the lead/background electric guitar. Devon S is on bass. Dave T is on drums.

4/4 Key D

Bm        A         Bm

We came to bring them light  

Bm        A            Bm

A shame we brought them night

From sea to shining seas

Our arrogance and ignorance

Floated on the breeze

To see what tomorrow reveals

The western wall is gone

The rest will fall at dawn

From shore to rocky shore

All the way to Hudson's Bay

We go 'cause we want more
