Stranger in Paradise - Tony Bennett (1954)

[Verse 1]
Gm7 C7
Take my hand
Fmaj7 F6
I’m a stranger in paradise
Bmaj7 Gm7 Bbm6
All lost in a wonderland
C7 F6 Am
A stranger in paradise
F6 Gm7 C7
If I stand starry-eyed
Fmaj7 F6
That’s a danger in paradise
Bmaj7 Gm7 Bbm6
For mortals who stand beside
C7 F
An angel like you

[Bridge]
Db7 Gb6
I saw your face and I ascended
Ebm6 F7
Out of the commonplace
Bbm
Into the rare
A7 D6 F6
Somewhere in space, I hang suspended
Gm7 C7
Until I know
Fmaj7 D7
There’s a chance that you’d care

[Verse 2]
Adim Gm7 C7
Won’t you answer the fervent prayer
Fmaj7 F6
Of a stranger in paradise
Bmaj7 Gm7 Bbm6
Don’t send me in dark despair
C7 F6 Am
From all that I hunger for
F6 Gm7 C7
But open your angel’s arms
Fmaj7 F6
To this stranger in paradise
Bmaj7 Gm7 Bbm6
And tell him that he need be
C7 F F6
A stranger no more

[Outro]
Bmaj7 Gm7 Bbm6
And tell him that he need be
N.C. F
A stranger no more
