Twenty Seven Strangers Chords

(ver. 1)
Villagers
Intro
F    C    Am    C
Am    C    G    G

Verse
F            C
The bus was late
Am                   C
And forced us all to congregate
Am           C
Twenty-seven strangers
        G
Made to stand and wait

F             C
The time went by
Am                  C    
The sun went down, a baby cried
Am       C              G
I just stood in line


Dm6                 Am
But there is no cue
C                                 F
No stage hand saying what to do
G
And you are me
G/Ab
And I am you

Chorus
F    C    Am    C
Am    C    G    G

F           C
The bus it came
Am            C
And everybody loaded in
Am           C
Twenty-seven strangers
     G
In a moving can

F               C  
The fluorescent light
Am               
Doubled everyone inside
C
The baby's face reflected
Am       C               G
In the shopfronts in the sky

Dm6             Am
But faces change
C                                F
And rules they all get rearranged
G
And photographs
G/Ab
All fade away

Chorus
F    C    Am    C
Am    C    G    G

F              C
The bus broke down
Am                  C
At the graveyard on the edge of town
Am           C
Twenty-seven strangers
        G
Separate without a sound

F           C
So I walked home
Am 
Just feeling nothing on my own
C
Noticing that tree of yours
Am         C           G
I've been watching it grow

Dm6                  Am
So that's why I'm late
C                         F
My dearest one what can I say
G
And tomorrow it could be the same
G/Ab
When I do it all again  

Chorus
F    C    Am    C
Am    C    G    G
