Tony Bennett

[Verse]
Dm           G                     C
Take my hand,    I'm a stranger in paradise,
Dm           G            Fm               C
All lost in a wonderland,    a stranger in paradise.
            Dm         G                        C
If I stand starry-eyed,     that's a danger in paradise
     Am          Dm          Fm    G          C
For mortals who stand beside   an angel like you.
 
 
[Bridge]
            G#             C#
I saw your face, and I ascended
            Bm        C           Fm
Out of the commonplace   into the rare.
              E              A
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
         Dm             G         C
Until I know there's a chance you care.
 
 
[Chorus]
          Em          Dm           G                   C
Won't you answer the fervent prayer   of a stranger in paradise?
                  Dm          G                  C
Don't send me in dark despair    from all that I hunger for,
               D        G                       Em
But open your angel arms    to this stranger in paradise
                 Dm          Fm    G           C
And tell him that he need be    a stranger no more.
 
 
[Bridge]
           G#             C#
I saw your face, and I ascended
            Bm        C           Fm
Out of the commonplace   into the rare.
              E              A
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
         Dm             G         C
Until I know there's a chance you care.
 
 
[Chorus]
          Em          Dm           G                   C
Won't you answer the fervent prayer   of a stranger in paradise?
                  Dm          G                  C
Don't send me in dark despair    from all that I hunger for,
               D        G                       Em
But open your angel arms    to this stranger in paradise
                 Dm          Fm    G           C
And tell him that he need be    a stranger no more.
